Emporia Energy

App keeps getting better! Last update included Amps unit! Hardware is best value on the market right now. My power panel is a long way from my router so the hardware would not stay connected. After working with Marty in customer support, it was determined that my Wi-Fi was too weak at that location. I independently verified this diagnosis with WiFi SweetSpot app and worked to upgrade my network. I tried a couple of Wi-Fi repeater/extenders but they still caused connectivity issues. I resolved all connectivity issues when adding Xfinity XFi Pods (mesh). Mesh is the way to go. Solved connectivity issues I had with a remote Ring doorbell also. I use two of the eight current sensors to monitor the power supplied by my 16 Kw Generac whole house standby generator. Since it auto starts, when we are not home, I can now see when and how long the generator ran. It would be useful if emporia could ID generator sensors, send an alert when power supply transfers to the generator and allow an alternative energy cost (based on natural gas cost & generator efficiency) when the generator runs. I look forward to future improvements!

So far I’ve purchased 4 Vue units for personal use and gifts. It’s amazing the amount of data that’s available from the Vue and app. The app keeps getting better by the week. Every home should have one of these, at such an affordable price!

Watt reading is highly inaccurate. I can only read the total watts from the graph page, the main page shows 0w. The graph page never lets you scroll to the current time, when you scroll too far to the right it snaps back to the beginning. There is no diagnostic information. What is the signal strength? is the device online? What is the serial number? What sensors are connected? What version is it running? Does it upgrade firmware automatically?

The kit & app were easy to install. I got exactly what I need from this app. Not only support has been responsive and helpful, they listen and constantly add useful features to app.

This seems like a great product. It was easy to install and it’s cool that you can view individual circuits with the 8 circuit expansion pack. That being said, it’s too bad that you can only view a circuit at a time. It would be really nice if you could view all of your circuits at once rather than having to click back and forth to only view one at a time. It would also be nice if you could view your mains as individual lugs. Right now, they’re combined so you can see if one leg is out of balance. Otherwise, for the price, this is a cool product but still needs some dev.
