Emporia Smart Home Energy Monitor with 8 50A Circuit Level Sensors | Real Time Electricity Monitor/Meter | Solar/Net Metering

Product Information

Above is the monitor and the two main sensors that clip around the power leads into your electrical panel.

Going to try get it working with three phase inputs some time soon, not sure how hard/easy that will be. Really the free 'cloud only' option smacks of them reserving the ability to charge for this at a time of their choosing. Aesthetics don’t really matter much for a system that will spend most of its time behind a breaker box panel. second data is retained 3 hours, 1 minute data is retained 7 days, 1 hour data is retained indefinitely. but maybe that time component is different from the time that shows up in the logs - how do I check if id: my_time is correct?But, if the company’s Emporia Gen 2 Vue home energy monitor is anything to go by, recently sent to Android Headlines for review, it really should be. I am also working on some network issues because even though Ubiquity reports the empora to be on line, I can not ping it (although pings might not be allowed in ESPHome.

If I need to recompile, I just start up ESPHome, go to the dashboard, load te configuration file, tweak it and send it back to the Emporia - no muss, no fuss, I just have to remember to do it via Chrome instead of my normal browser (Thunderbird).

I installed two emporia vues and 8 smart plugs last summer and am debating about a couple more in additional subpanels. I know these devices hold the data on a cloud, with potential future risks that that poses but still they seem the best option at the moment. Anomalies in power consumption could be a clue that an appliance is malfunctioning, or—in the case of something like a freezer in your basement or garage, where you don’t interact with it every day—has stopped working altogether.

Another one of the app’s great features is its ability to produce push notifications if the energy consumption on a given circuit exceeds or falls below a defined threshold.
