Very useful and seriously cool
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.Ver másVer menos
