"After purchasing and installing this product (not trivial), I now find that the data it produces is kept on a cloud, under the complete control of Emporia. One needs to be signed on to their site to even view it. There's an option to produce a csv file but, even then, that file is produced on a web site which is not always available. This smacks of a future plan to charge an ongoing fee beyond the purchase price to use the product, obviously inviting lawsuits for false advertising. Obviously, I'm not happy and would rate the product zero stars, but that option is not available if one wants to show their rating online."

This device is seriously cool and extremely useful if you need or want to monitor your home's energy usage. In my case, I added it to my electrical panel because I finally bought an 11,000 peak-watt inverter generator for backup power and wanted to get a handle on my home's power usage so I could understand what circuits I could turn on while running on generator power alone, as well as monitor generator draw to make sure I was staying within the capability of my generator. Very illuminating and very helpful! I'm not using solar or any other fancy stuff but the device/app would handle that effectively.Easy for a non-electrician to install The app is simple and very useful. I set it up to monitor only the mains in my typical split-phase system, and also put a couple of 50A CT sensors on the 50A circuit breaker where the generator inputs were so that I could monitor the draw on the generator when it was running. It works great for that. The only downside is that if the main power goes down, my wireless internet router goes down too and I lose monitor function. I addressed that by including the computer room (with wireless router) as one of the circuits that the inverter generator powers when the generator comes online. After the wireless router re-boots, I can resume monitoring the generator draw via the Emporia Vue 3 app. You have to remember to re-power the circuit breakers that are supplying power to the Emporia Vue device.Currently, I'm in the process of developing a profile of energy usage by watching the real-time monitor for reaction of the home power when I turn various devices such as water well, furnace, water heater, stove top, microwave, refrigerators/freezers, etc. Very, very helpful.jay a cox

Well worth the money. Now have a much better idea of what is using the most electricity in my house. Although I have more than 16 circuits in the house, I placed the sensors on the most used. Junction box is a bit tight but I can still get the cover panel on. It’s also useful for determining circuits that I sometimes overload with appliances, especially space heaters.marx p

This is an amazing tool for anyone curious to where their electricity is going. In my case, I wanted to confirm electrical usage of my heat pump vs auxiliary heat mode and also map out my base consumption for battery backup. Installation the unit can be easy or hard depending on the setup- I have 2 panels and circuits on both that I wanted monitoring so it took some work to get it done without having to purchase 2 Emporia Vue 3. The box is a bid big for my sub panel so I installed it on the side, mid point between both panels for easy of installation. I also had to extend the cables and used the recommended 22 gouge cable to do it with the addition of a crimper and cable binders. I saw no difference with the extended cables. The app registers energy change instantly and accurately as I compared it to my professional amp rating tool.olga s
