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

I rarely write reviews, but this is one product that truly deserves it. The Emporia energy monitor and companion app have been one of the most useful additions to my home.Accuracy (This impressed me the most)Before trusting any energy monitor, I wanted to confirm the readings were accurate. I compared Emporia’s totals directly against my utility meter over multiple days and the results matched almost exactly. That level of accuracy gave me a lot of confidence in the data the system provides.Real Time VisibilityThe live energy view in the app is fantastic. You can literally watch your power usage change as appliances turn on and off. It quickly teaches you how much electricity different things in your home actually use.For example, I was able to clearly see:• My dryer cycling between high power while heating and very low power between heating cycles• Refrigerator compressor cycles throughout the day• The exact power draw from my electric range and other appliances• My home's baseline energy usage when very little is runningThis kind of visibility is incredibly helpful for understanding where your electricity bill is really coming from.The AppThe Emporia app is clean, responsive, and easy to use. It lets you:• Monitor individual circuits• See real time usage• Track daily, weekly, and monthly consumption• Download detailed usage dataThe ability to export usage data is something I particularly appreciate because it allows deeper analysis if you want to track things more closely.Installation and SetupSetup was easier than expected. Once installed, the system immediately began reporting data in the app. Labeling circuits and adding additional sensors was straightforward and makes the monitoring even more useful.Customer Service ExperienceI also had a very positive experience with Emporia’s customer service. I contacted them regarding a price difference after purchasing several sensors directly from them and later noticing a bundle deal elsewhere. Their support team responded promptly and handled the situation immediately and professionally. It is always reassuring to see a company stand behind their customers and resolve issues quickly.What I would love to see improvedThe only improvement I would suggest is expanding notification alerts and downloadable data support for smart plugs the same way it currently works for circuit clamps. That would make an already great system even better.Bottom LineIf you want to truly understand your home's electricity usage and have confidence that the numbers are accurate, the Emporia system and app are excellent. It has helped me track appliance usage, estimate my electric bill very accurately, and better understand how my home consumes electricity.Highly recommended.

The Vue 3 is easy to install and it goes quickly. The app and web interface are both simple to use and are full of ways to visualize and analyze the power, energy and cost data. I needed Emporia to create a new utility rate for my local utility. This product has been a joy to use for an energy nerd like me!

Simple installation. Great app provides energy usage data in a clear format

The helps me gauge cost and usage of each electrical circuit in my house. Helps me identify power use and waste. Allows me to police my use of appliances more efficiently. Great app which records energy use over time.

In the beginning I has some issues, but all got fixed. Amazing device, simple to use and understand. Excellent customer service.

I got this to put on the subpanel in my garage, which is on its own disconnect separate from the rest of my house. On the whole it is OK and I am not sure if there is a better option but it is far from a 5-star product.First the good: This was relatively easy to install and get connected to wifi, seems to work well (ish, see below), and doesn't (yet!) require you to buy some $#@! subscription to use it. For that I am bumping this from 3 to 4 stars.Gripe 1: You should not need to install the app to get to the installation manual. My electrician fussed with it for 5 minutes before I figured out how to access the PDF and sent it to him. Since many (most?) users will have an electrician do the behind-the-panel work, the PDF should be directly accessible.Gripe 2: My energy balance isn't quite right. I installed this in my garage where the vast majority of the power consumption is from the heat pump, and the app is generally showing the heat pump using 110-120% of the power used by the whole garage. Comparing this to my electrical meter it seems to be matching up within the margin of error, at least. There may be some further adjustment or calibration to get this to work better, but something is clearly off and it's not obvious what.Gripe 3: My biggest complaint though is the app, which has some missing functionality and weird UX behavior. It seems reasonably stable and performant, so it's not awful. But for a device you buy explicitly for monitoring and performance, the reporting functionality is very rudimentary. You can't select a date/time range to view, it only works in vertical orientation, and scrolling through the data is very clunky.This also seems to support a number of "smart home" type features like time-of-use controls, which do not apply to my use case. It does seem like one of the more feature-rich versions of this kind of thing, so that may weigh in its favor if you are looking for that.

This is not about saving energy, I just like to know where my energy is going and this app and device is top notch. Very nice app with fast data to see what is going on. I installed this myself, turned off the main, opened the panel and tested that there was no energy. After the first 3 installed, the rest came in very fast. Arrow pointing towards the breaker. that is all. I had a spare space and got a breaker to install the electricity part of the device, but you do not need to, you can simple jump them into adjacent breakers. The accuracy is superb, I can match my kWh from the app to my electricity bill and ever compared it to my Aquara switch which counts voltage, wattage to very close values.I installed this using sensors on both the main and subpanel, so to not have to extend the cable much, I had a 6x6x4 box installed between both panels. An additional $40 and $10 for the cable roll.

Purchased several months ago, and now have had it long enough to recommend. The app works well, the supplied current transformers are quite accurate, instructions are decent, and the product's overall design is competent. I am using mine with hard-wired Ethernet, so I can't comment on range or reliability of the wifi capability.

太陽光発電のエネルギーモニターサービス終了を受けて導入しました。　全25回路の分電盤に16回路（事後に8回路分を追加購入）を測定しています。　基本英語のみのサービスですが、スマホの翻訳機能のお陰で十分に使えています。　なんとスマートホームにも発展できるそうですね!　現段階では見える化のみに使っておりますが、最高のコスパ製品に巡り会えたと喜んでおります。

Excelente equipo de medición. Recomiendo analizar el tamaño del centro de carga antes de comprar, la mayoría son muy pequeños (México) y complica mucho la conexión, al final se acaba desperdiciando el medidor porque es imposible poner todos los sensores debido al espacio.

Easy to install and set up. I can now monitor my parents electricity circuits to see if they are leaving things on. Helped my identify an issue with the boiler timer and allowed me to check their bills against the supplier to reveal discrepancies in the meter!Only improvement would be smaller clamps.

Works well

Works Great, easy hookup
