Your electric utility bills you for the total number of kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity your home consumes. I’ve been using the Emporia Vue for a few months now and it’s made me very conscious about power usage.

Installing the Flexible Current Sensors is still dangerous, and Emporia highly recommends that installation be performed by a licensed electrician or other qualified professional.

The Gen 2 Vue keeps track of the energy used in your home to help you identify appliances and circuits that waste energy and increase monthly bills. Capable of monitoring up to 16 individuals in addition to the mains power, the Emporia Vue Gen 2 does a great job at pinpointing electricity hogs in your home. 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). Set alerts for times when you approach monthly peak energy use, when you leave lights or an oven on, when things like sump pumps don't turn off or on, and when when your A/C uses more energy than it should.

From what I can tell, the time platform is working as every single status message from the Emporia has the correct time stamp .Following a relocation to the Pacific Northwest, he is now converting his new home, an 1890 Victorian bungalow, into a modern smart home. Supports single-phase up to 240VAC line-neutral; single, split-phase 120/240VAC; and three-phase up to 415Y/240VAC (no Delta). The Vue monitors the total energy use and solar net metering of your home through a simple iOS or Android app. But I don't use an emonPi, only the sw - and to be honest, it hasn't been updated since it was installed - but it works, so I'll only change things if I need to.

Committed to bringing the best value as affordable possible, the Vue provides everything you need to monitor your entire home's energy usage in real time. When considering a new addition to manage your smart home more efficiently, Emporia may not be the first brand that comes to mind. Of course if you want to monitor individual circuits then you'd need something else - but the Emporia system seems to be a less useful system than emonPi or the emoncms software on your own system with an emonTx.For a distributed system I would point you to the PZEM-004T as the measuring device and ESP8266 or ESP32 programmed in the Arduino environment as the comms link to datalogging via MQTT. I've often faced this dilemma - sometimes the only way to get exactly what I want is to make it myself. Looking at the install manual seems to confirm: they have one clamp on red, one on black, which is the L1 and L2 two-phase hot wires in USA. I am looking for electric energy monitoring, this "Emporia Vue gen 2 with 16 sensors" seems great and good value for money for so many amp clamp (16 small for 50A + 3 larger for main 3 phases).
