Emporia Vue 3 Home Energy Monitor – Smart Home Automation Module and Real Time Electricity Usage Monitor, Power Consumption Meter, Solar and Net Metering for UL Certified Safe Energy Monitoring

Awesome and easy to set up, really neat to see what everything uses.
Incredible product! I don’t write many reviews. I bought this months ago. It works awesome! I had a question and called tech support. Actually spoke with a very nice tech right away. Was surprisingly tech savvy, no stupid ia assistant or long pause pushing zero for representatives. I have Solar and two electrical panels. No room in my outside panel for incoming and outgoing monitoring. So I used 4 sensors on the stuff in the outside panel. 2 heat pumps, pool equipment, and incoming power from my solar array. Worked well. Easily able to set either 220 or 120, incoming solar, and easily able to label each sensor to what is powered. I need more than the 16 sensors! I would like one for each breaker.I have found out how much power my pool cleaner pump takes. It’s ridiculous. I will find a more efficient one soon.1st pic is the panel, yes going to shorten the wires. No connectivity issues, but I still haven’t replaced the panel…2nd is instant use…3rd is daily…4th is monthly….5th yearly, but not a full yearThe pool equipment is crazy high…. Double checked it. I see how stupid inefficient my cleaner pump is. The normal pump is a variable pump and super efficient. So I can see instantly when pool cleaner comes on a how much it takes. If I didn’t have it, I would reduce my usage dramatically!

Very good and accurate product
Great product, easy to install and configure. Works great and provides very accurate readings of your power usage.

Great Way to Monitor Energy Consumption
I ordered this to compliment my Sense energy monitor. I’ve been using Sense for several years and while that was great for some things, it didn’t give me enough information on what was actually using power. The Emporia functions differently than Sense, and each have pros and cons.From an installation standpoint, Sense was much easier because it doesn’t need individual circuit sensors. My circuit breaker panel was very crowded to begin with, and it was a challenge to get the 18 CT clamps in place for the Emporia and now my panel looks very messy inside.I get much more accurate readings with the Emporia than I do with Sense. Emporia shows the actual power being consumed by each circuit, where Sense only makes a guess at each detected device. For example, Sense detected my heat pump compressor, but it always uses the same power value when it detects that it turns on so it always reports 3.2kW. With Emporia’s sensor directly at the circuit breaker, I can see that the power ranges between 2.8kW and 4.2kW depending on the outside temperature. During the hot summer months, Sense will drastically under count my heat pump’s consumption.From an app standpoint, I like Sense a lot better. The Emporia app looks very dated in comparison, but it does what it is supposed to I guess. There are some things that I wish it could do, like let you pinch or spread to adjust the graphed data.There are also some things that should be a feature but aren’t for some reason. For example, I can’t set it up to get accurate readings for my clothes dryer in one entry. My dryer uses 240V for the heating element, but it uses a single 120V leg for everything else including the tumbler motor. I have a clamp on each leg so I can see the total power consumed, but it’s in two separate circuits that I have to add together. It should be easy to combine both into one sensor and let the app do the math, but this isn’t an option. On the Emporia forums it seems like this is an common request and Emporia says that it will be implemented “soon”, but they have been saying this for years so “soon” must have another meaning for them.It’s very handy for keeping an eye on malfunctions. I have a septic system that has an always-on aerator pump. When something goes wrong with the system, the pump turns off. I have an alert set up so that I get a notification if the pump stops working so I immediately know if there is a problem.I use Home Assistant at my home, and it was very easy to integrate the Emporia data into it. It works very well.It’s hard for me to say which is better, Sense or Emporia, because each one is so different. Sense is better at displaying real-time information, but Emporia is much more accurate on an individual circuit basis. The Sense app seems to be generations ahead of the Emporia app.

太陽光発電のエネルギーモニターサービス終了を受けて導入しました。　全25回路の分電盤に16回路（事後に8回路分を追加購入）を測定しています。　基本英語のみのサービスですが、スマホの翻訳機能のお陰で十分に使えています。　なんとスマートホームにも発展できるそうですね!　現段階では見える化のみに使っておりますが、最高のコスパ製品に巡り会えたと喜んでおります。　

Easy to install and set up. I can now monitor my parents electricity circuits to see if they are leaving things on. Helped my identify an issue with the boiler timer and allowed me to check their bills against the supplier to reveal discrepancies in the meter!Only improvement would be smaller clamps.
