Good enough for now

So the app as a whole works. It displays a fair amount of information; however, it could be much better. I like that you can specify a 2nd factor power option (a prompt to verify power on/off toggle).

I took off a star because you have to enter individual information for every device (pKwh cost, time zone, etc) and this was truly annoying. Also annoying was there wasn’t a way to easily view total usage of all monitored plugs or devices. I had to export to CSV

Desired improvements:

Total energy usage as a graph
An easier way to change between device views
A “memory” of what view I prefer (always defaults to per second usage)
Set up multiple/all devices with same setting (energy cost, time zone, etc)

I hope when I get the Vue it isn’t the same way as the individual plugs. That would be a bummer.

Good App, hardware and support!

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!

Great product with hopes it will get even better

At half the price of the competitor that relies on a poorly executed algorithm instead of CTs for each circuit, the Vue 2 is the solution that actually makes sense ;) It was easy to install and configure. There are some tweaks I’d like to see but what really blew me away was the customer support. You can download the app and play with it in demo mode. If you have a question you can chat with someone in app. And they actually know what they’re talking about. I reached out after installing for some feature requests (one of which they were already working on) and had another good chat. Judging by the version history it looks like they are updating the app monthly. I’m excited to see where this goes. I love it so much I bought two so I can monitor every circuit in my panel.
