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

This works great. Connects inside breaker box and you can monitor each individual electric line. Can get readouts for any time period by using calendar. Can change $ kw costs easily. Great for landlords who have no other way to divide electric usage amongst tenants

7/26/24 update: This is still going strong with zero issues. I see some low reviews about signal but we ran the antenna outside of the panel and have zero issues. This has really helped provide granularity in our energy use. I saw today they annouced a fix for my complaint around my solar CT reporting production at night when my combiner box was consuming. now you can specify in the app if a CT is bi-directional. Lastly, we were able to use the info provided by the monitoring to decide to get rid of our electric dryer and switch to a combination heat pump washer/dryer. We were spending $50+ in electricity a month to wash clothes. Now we don't even spend $15.00. At current prices the new washer will pay for itself in 3.5 years. I know all this because of the granular detail provided through the vue3. We're going to deploy these at any of our rentals that include utilities in the rent. Original review: This is a great product using tried and try technology (CT monitors). I have plenty of space in my panel so installing this was a breeze. My panel is recessed into the wall so I bought a 3rd party antenna extension cable so I could mount my antenna outside the panel. This monitors 220v(use 1 CT and double in app), 110v, solar and you can add external emporia smart plugs to save a CT. So for my dishwasher and server, instead of using a CT, I used their smart plug and was able to add it to the whole house monitoring. This has provided great insight into our energy usage. I like that the cable length can be adjusted to get rid of extra cable length. My main compliant is 16 CT were not enough nearly enough for my 3000 sq ft house with a 200amp panel. I would probably need 2 of these to cover my whole house but I was able to get most of our key loads. My other complaint is that the CT monitor for solar registers regardless of whether it sends back to breaker or uses from breaker. At night, my solar uses some power to control enphase controller and it registers it production instead of consumption. It is minor but something to note.

Update-was able to find problem areas in the home and got the lowest electric bill in 9 months! Home humidifier was running way too much, made adjustments and it’s fixed. Devices drawing power but not being used now turned off. Furnace setting adjusted to make it more efficient. This will pay for itself in 2.5 months. Solid product, quality components and killer app! Installation was quick and painless. The connection viaWiFi was flawless and it started reading my panel instantly. Responds to changes in loads almost instantly and provides very accurate readings throughout the day. The app has everything you need to monitor your home. It’s clear they have thought of just about everything. My only complaint is the length of the cable they provide for the WiFi antenna. I mounted it on the bottom of the panel and haven’t had connection issue but would have preferred to have it on top.

Product and service are exceptional. Both Zach and Collin answered all my questions and offered advice for my setup. Instructions were very easy to understand. I love the data in the app. However, I do wish the app has better graphics. I came off Curb energy monitoring when they discontinued service. Curb didnt offer data export or customized views, but their graphs were awesome. I wish Emporia can replicate some of those same timecharts in their app.

I recently upgraded to the Emporia Gen 3 Smart Home Energy Monitor, and I'm generally pleased with the improvements. The new design is definitely a step up – it's more compact and looks much cleaner in my electrical panel. The real-time data and circuit-level monitoring are invaluable for understanding my energy consumption. The addition of Ethernet is a welcome feature for those with wired network access. However, like many, my panel is located where running an Ethernet cable is impractical. I rely solely on Wi-Fi, which, thankfully, has been stable and reliable. But I can't help but wonder if Emporia has considered Ethernet over Power (EoP) as an alternative for those of us without easy Ethernet access. It would be a fantastic solution for many users. One minor gripe, which is easily remedied, is the wire management. The included wires, while functional, can get a bit messy. I highly recommend picking up the https://a.co/d/fCO3HJ7 wire organizers to keep everything neat and tidy. It makes a significant difference in the overall installation appearance. Pros: Sleek and compact new design. Accurate real-time circuit-level monitoring. Ethernet connectivity (though Wi-Fi is still my primary option). Reliable solar/net metering. Cons: Wire management can be a bit messy without additional organizers. Lack of Ethernet over Power option for those without easy ethernet. Overall, the Emporia Gen 3 is a solid upgrade. If you're looking for a comprehensive home energy monitoring solution, it's definitely worth considering. Just be prepared to invest in some wire organizers for a cleaner installation. And Emporia, please consider Ethernet over Power for future revisions!

I just received my Vue 3 this week and it has been online for less than 24 hours, but I'm already impressed with the value this system provides. I installed it myself, and it took less than two hours. I'm not an electrician, but I am pretty handy with household DIY, and am used to working with electronics, etc. Working in a breaker panel is very dangerous, so if you have any doubts, please just pay an electrician a few hundred dollars to install it for you. The installation documentation is very good, and straight-forward. Emporia also has a lot of information on their website. I had a complete gameplan and realistic expectations going in. I have a total of 20 breakers, so i knew I would need to be creative to get full coverage. The only 2-pole breaker that I didn't use a single CT and multiplier on was my dryer, because I knew dryers are notoriously unbalanced. This was confirmed by my readings washing and drying 4 loads of laundry last night. Good call. My HVAC and water heater seem balanced enough to use one CT and a 2x multiplier going by my readings so far. I also combined several circuits on the same legs (2 wires/alternating breakers) to achieve full coverage with 16 CTs. This works well. I also have a couple of breakers for items I rarely use, like a floor heater in the basement, so I opted to just leave them unmonitored and if I do use them, they'll show up in the "balance" from the mains. The last atypical part of my setup was to connect the hot wires for the monitor to 20 amp breakers instead of the recommended 15s. This was just due to their proximity to the monitor and required me to replace the supplied 14 gauge pigtails with 12 gauge THHN. Easy peasy. I also bought a four-pack of Emporia's smart plugs to cover one outlet at the panel that has its own breaker, and to give me the flexibility to drill down individual appliances on a monitored or unmonitored circuit. Adding the Vue and the SPs to the app literally could not have been easier. If you prepare by reading their documentation first, you'll be ready to hit the ground running. Write down the circuits and ports to which they're connected. Know any CTs that will need to be merged, like my dryer. I also nested my unmonitored SPs under the main device, and monitored SPs under the appropriate circuits. All was easy to do in the app. So far, the balance, or the difference between the reporting from the mains and the totals from the monitored circuits has been negligible. I know this will vary, but I think I've got it as good as I'm going to get it with 16 CTs. I'm happy. The provided data in the app is great. If I could make any suggestions, one would be to make it easier to look at a specific time on the graphs. You have to slide the graph to the right to go back in time and you're limited by the width of your screen. Going back several hours can take dozens of swipes. That's annoying. Put a drag-bar at the bottom, and/or allow me to pick a time manually. Also, you can only see spikes (such as HVAC startup) at the "second" resolution, so if you're trying to determine peak loads for an alternate energy source, there's no easy way to get them in the app. The export feature certainly helps by generating granular spreadsheets at all resolutions, though. It just emails a link once created, which is pretty slick. The whole Emporia Vue system is meeting or exceeding my expectations at this point. If anything changes, I will update my review.

I installed the Emporia Vue 3 Power Meter for use in energy saving power measurement, and it has exceeded every expectation. The hardware feels solid, the clamps are easy to position, and the app gives real‑time data that updates quickly and reliably. Within minutes of setup, I could see exactly which circuits were driving my consumption. What impressed me most is the accuracy. The readings are consistent, responsive, and detailed enough to make real decisions about energy savings. The app layout is clean and intuitive, and the notifications are genuinely useful rather than overwhelming. If you’re serious about understanding your energy use — whether for efficiency, cost control, or just curiosity — the Vue 3 is an outstanding tool. It’s become part of my daily routine, and I’m genuinely impressed by how much insight it provides.

My brother installed this at his house and loved it. After seeing his system in action, I bought one for my house. After installing mine, I liked it so much a purchased a second system as I have two independent breaker panels and wanted better monitoring of my whole house electricity use. Do you need to actually see the energy distribution of you home circuits? Probably not. But . . . is it reassuring when away from home to know that your lift pump, well pump, outdoor hot tub, furnace, freezer, refrigerator, etc. are cycling as expected? Most definitely! Installation was easy enough. You need to fully understand the breaker panel and risks involved when working close to hazardous electrical wires. If you've ever added or replaced circuit breakers on your own, the installation is straight forward. The system monitors the two mains coming from the power company and up to 16 individual circuits in the breaker panel. You can monitor a 220v "dual" breaker using two of the 16 sensors (one on each "hot" wire to each half of the breaker), or you can use a single sensor on one side of the breaker and "double" the usage measurement automatically in the app. For an electric HW heater, this makes total sense as the usage is identical for both sides of the breaker. Using only one sensor in this case frees up a sensor to use elsewhere. I bought a 16 sensor and an 8 sensor system. The base station for each is the same, so I can always order another 8 sensors to maximize monitoring. For me, I really only care about the big energy appliances and I do not monitor most of my 15 amp circuits (lighting, stereo/TV etc.) The app automatically sums all circuits per breaker panel and includes the "balance" of non-monitored use as a separate line entry. I can tell how much electricity the entire panel used any given second, hour, day, week, month, and the app sorts usage from highest to lowest. Lastly, I purchased a 4 pack of their "smart plugs" to dial in usage of a few small appliances that are not on an isolated/single breaker. They nest seamlessly into the app and add additional monitoring that I find useful. I never knew how much I would appreciate having this information available at any time and from anywhere on the planet. I doubt I will ever save money using this product, but I will forever enjoy the ability to monitor and measure the electricity usage of my home.

So far I love this thing. Works great and is relatively simple to use with an iPhone. So long as this company does not brick people device by trying to force some paid subscription I will always recommend this to anyone that has a reason to monitor/track their consumption. I would like a model that offers more connection though. Sounds crazy but a 32 input model would be real good. Setup was very easy. If you have any electrical knowledge you will not struggle to setup. If you do not YouTube is a great resource to show you how to get it all connected. But even then the guides do great as well. App performs well on iPhone. Once you get a hang of it it’s real easy to see your power consumption under almost any unit time interval. 1min to years at a time. You can see your live consumption. You can name each circuit so you know which is which without having to reference your breaker. If not they give you labels you can place in your breaker to known which number is which. Packaging was acceptable. Now I know people want to know about accuracy. So far, I have to say, it’s near identical match to my utility providers logs on my consumption. Most of the time I think the error if any is caused by rounding by my provider. In other words Emporia is giving me a more precise measurement which I love to see. Oh and as a bonus. If you aren’t lazy like myself you can adjust the length of the wires for better wire management with some wire splicers and a little screw driver. I’m only a week in though. I will modify this review if things change but so far I am super happy with the simplicity of setup and in its performance. If you can still read this portion you can be certain I love it. I’m back. It’s been longer. My experience with this has only gotten better as the app has improved drastically. Very very happy with this product. Accuracy has been spot on. Helped me lower my bills too. You will find after the first couple months you will probably not use the app much but it’s very nice to have at the end of the month to see if everything adds up and if you can reduce power consumption. Thank you Emporia— love knowing there are still people doing good work out there. All around impressed.

Volevo sapere dove andavano i miei watts e con questo ho le idee molto chiare. Supporto post vendita veloce e preciso via email solo in Ingelse ma non credo sia un problema con i traduttori gratuiti a disposizione di tutti. Di facile isntallazione previo stacco della corrente dal contatore e non solo sul quadro! Per noi che abbiamo praticamente solo monofase basta collegare solo una delle pinze amperometriche più grandi sulla fase in ingresso, dunque ne avanzerete due di quelle grandi. Consigliato

Simple à installer et à utiliser

Das Gerät ist eigentlich ganz Gut. 1 Stern Abzug da es mit der Original Firmware nur über die Cloud nutzbar ist und in Homeassistant dann nur mehr 5 Min. durschnittswerte ankommen. 2 Sterne Abzug da die Stromkabel mit Falschen Farben angeschlossen sind und ich somit ein Gerät Zerstört habe. !!! Blaue Kabel sind im Wechselstromkreis immer Nullleiter und niemals eine Phase !!!
