Emporia Energy

It took some time to get the device setup in the app. It kept getting stuck on a "firmware update found and will try to update screen". I tried several times but it would always just get stuck. I eventually force closed the app and opened it again and was able to see the device. Unfortunately the data seems to be very inconsistent but I don't see any errors. The app design is a bit clunky and there is no way to check for firmware updates (like the one it tries to do at initial setup). The graph design is also not very good. It is hard to tell days/hours/minutes apart on the X axis. Scrolling to the end of the X axis also loops back around to the beginning? Why is it designed this way? So far I have very little data and no errors or warning. It is just kind of useless. Pros: - Easy to pair to meter (just call or do it online). - Small. - Fairly inexpensive. Cons: - Initial setup process does not work well with no way to skip forced firmware update and do it later. - No way to check for and do firmware updates manually. - Graphs are not very easy to read for specific days/hours. - X axis on graphs scrolling loops back to the beginning. - Very little data with no errors or warnings anywhere, no matter how close to the meter I put the device.

Easy setup. can't wait to integrate it with home assistant. I wish the graph was zoomable and pinchable instead of discrete H/D/Wk/Mo graphs. I don't mind the fine data dropping to lower resolution over a day old. Good interface and seems accurate and stable!

The Emporia Vue is the ideal tool for monitoring home power consumption on and off grid. The App and Emporia unit connected first try. Set-up was quick and simple. Dial in your CT configuration and utility rate. It's accurate, informative and fun to data mine. Installation was easy for those who work regularly with Electrical service panels.
