We could do that as one additional spell instead of 2 since they are trying to do the same thing.
Name: Wire Retrace Range: Touch (to an outlet) Casting Time: 1 Round MP Cost: 4 Duration: Concentration
This spell can only be cast if you have cast Wire Trace since sunup/sundown. You again think of a type of tech device, and this time you may choose to exclude all previously discovered devices OR you may set simple (read: quick and easy for the GM to process) exclusion parameters. You again gain a sense of what direction the closest device of that type that is plugged in to the electric grid is, ignoring excluded devices. While maintaining concentration on the spell, you may slowly simple action move around and attempt to triangulate approximately where the device is.

Seems fine to me. Just one question: do you "retain" knowledge/memory of devices you have discovered from Wire Trace? I'm asking because you might find a toaster one day, then two days later you might decide to cast the spell again. This time you find a different toaster. Frustrated, you cast Wire Retrace, but you remember to also exclude the first toaster you found as well as the second one. Or does that fall under the "simple explanation to GM" section? "I look for toasters but I exclude the first toaster I found and the one I found just now."

My intent was only the devices you have discovered since sunup/sundown. Though if you remember what you found last week/month/year (and it's still set up that way) that should help with the exclusion parameters mode.
