Review: Amazing Product, Great Learning Tool - I purchased this in March of 2021, and have enjoyed this product very much since then. The real time data logging is great, and can really help find areas that use excess electricity. Was pretty easy to setup in the breaker panel. Cut main breaker, installed unit, installed clamps, and then closed breaker box and powered up. One of my sensors was defective, and the company sent me one right away, free of charge. Everything worked perfectly after that. I initially did not have an EV, though in August I got one and this thing has been amazing at tracking energy usage for the EV. Was very easy in the software to rearrange a clamp and set it up for the EV charger. I ended up removing one that was a pretty unused circuit anyways. I am also a big fan of being able to export the data into CVV format. I have built a spreadsheet that breaks down monthly usage and % by circuit. I have also plotted an hour graph which shows me when my peak times of electricity use are during the day. Not necessary, but it helps me learn about my usage. A couple points of improvement I would wish for the future: 1) the export to CVV is completely manual. Not a big deal, but when I want to update my spreadsheets, it takes a few minutes to export and append into the spreadsheet. 2) I wish they had more support in terms of smart homes. Would be nice if there was an API that could be read from. It seems the app is the only way to read from the device in a live fashion. Would be nice if it featured a self-hosted server with all of the live data accessible from other sources. Overall a great product for an amazing price. App is pretty solid, device seems to work great, and quality customer service. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to understand or learn from their energy usage habits!
Review: Terrific Energy Monitor - I love the Emporia Vue 2 energy monitor. The monitor is the only monitor that provides detailed info on each individual circuit. Most monitors provide only the mains usage. The only near competitor to the Vue 2 is the Sense. However, I read too many negative reviews regarding the Sense's ability to determine what devices were being used in the house. The Vue 2 gives accurate information on each circuit. The Vue 2 matches my electrical bill regarding monthly usage per day and month. The total cost is off due to variation of end of month billing dates and add on utility company charges. The charts are functional and fine for my purposes. There is no API for to the feed data to an external program. You can download the raw data in CSV format if you want your own custom reporting. You can use the phone app or the website. You must login into the website to view your household information. I have not experienced any of the device or app issues that some people have reported. Tech support is awesome! They respond, know their stuff, and stay engaged until the issue is resolved. I did the installation myself. There are many You Tube videos that provide guidance. The instructions are simple, easy to follow, and accurate. The installation itself is easy and went relatively quickly. The breaker box will be a little crowded and messy unless you make an effort to wire-mind the cables. The Vue 2 can monitor only 16 circuits/breaker slots. I have 20 breaker slots occupied and 2 mains, so my Vue 2 is full. If you have more than 16 breakers and some are dual pole breakers, you can save a Vue 2 slot by monitoring 1 pole of the dual pole breaker and use a circuit multiplier of 2. If you still have additional breakers to monitor, you will need a second Vue 2 and "nest" the 2nd device under the 1st device. Contact Emporia support for additional questions. It is critical that you understand that when the main breaker is pulled the individual circuits to the house are dead BUT the mains that come from the utility pole into the breaker box are still live and dangerous. If you are not comfortable working around high voltage hire an electrician. Note: Make sure he records the breaker number and breaker amps to Vue 2 circuit number (explained below). Also make sure he dresses the cables neatly. After all he is a professional! As you make the connections you need to record the breaker number and what Vue 2 circuit number the breaker is connected to. This is important since you will need the information to set up the circuits in the monitor software. Once I had the device hooked up and working, I then determined what was connected to each breaker and corresponding Vue 2 circuit by turning on each household device one at a time (A/C, clothes washer, etc.) or by going to each wall outlet and plugging in a portable device that required noticeable watts. By observing what Vue 2 circuit showed an increase in usage I was able to develop a device mapping to Vue 2 circuit number to breaker number. In the VUE 2 software I labeled each Vue 2 circuit with the associated device name, the breaker number, and the breaker amps. This allowed me to have a breaker number to Vue 2 circuit number to device mapping with the circuit amps. The only downside to the Vue 2 is the AMPs reporting. As far as i can tell the individual mains and circuits are correctly reported in AMPs. However, the total of the mains is incorrectly calculated by totaling the two mains. This can be done for Watts/KW but not for AMPs since totaling ignores whether the result is from a 120 or 240 circuit if only 1 leg is being monitored. Either use the main with the biggest AMP usage or total the individual Vue 2 circuits to get a decent estimate. Emporia support says they want to fix this issue but there is no timeline. Yes I would buy this product again and recommend it to a friend.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this be set up to use and view on a desktop computer or does a person have to have a cellphone?**
A: For those of you familiar with Python or Docker, the open-source Vuegraf project allows you to pull all metrics from the vue service and store them into your own InfluxDB and build graphs in Grafana. You can set alarms to trigger when certain thresholds are breached. Search the Internet for vuegraf and it should be the first result.

**Q: Is there a subscription needed?**
A: No. You just get the device and download the app.

**Q: Does this work with a 240 line?**
A: Yes.  Assuming you meant a 240 VOLT load, there are settings that allow you to only need one clamp but the app will then double the readings appropriately.

**Q: How much discrete energy does this product use?**
A: Well you could put an ampmeter on and see, thats ok I got it... so my Ideal meter flashes between 0.000 and 0.001Amps. In other words, its draws next to nothing, your christmas tree lights surpass this greatly... real reply from a emporia owner who only got this because CMP sucks.... also an electrician.. cheers

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Don't know if I love this.... I DO!
*by M***. on February 7, 2024*

Purchased this to monitor our Barn Sub-Panel, a recent addition to the house. It's a 1500sq/ft building with two 18k BTU mini spits, 800w of LED overhead lights, 2 post lift, full wood shop, welding outlet, etc. There's eight 240v circuits and eight120v circuits in the subpanel this was installed in. Install was straight forward, but if you're not comfortable working in an electrical panel, I'd recommend letting a licensed electrician do it. I wired the subpanel and the barn, but am not a licensed electrician, it's all inspected Rough and Final, but different jurisdictions have different rules about is legally allowed to do electrical work on their home. On to the review - Well, it definitely muddies up a clean electrical panel with the sensors and their wires but it's not too bad. If your panel has a TON of excess wire and is very full, this is going to be a tough installation. Once installed the set up is pretty straight forward and the instructions to do so work well. For each 240v circuit (two 120v legs) only one sensor is needed and the software in the app can be set to multiply the value by two; this in principal works great on things like Mini splits or a dust collector for example. However some 240v devices will have 120v items that will run between one of the 120v legs and a neutral wire, so if it's monitoring the leg being used for that 120v item, it's going to double it's usage and if it's monitoring the other leg, it won't measure the usage. This isn't that big of a problem, the 120v items on these types of circuits are hour meters or small control boards, etc. but it can create some inconsistencies. The view of everything is eye opening and that's why I'm not sure I love it.... but I do. It's very helpful to know what things cost. For example the network (security cameras, network switch, wireless AP's and related) are operating at able 2kw/hr's a day (a little less than a normal 80w systained draw. For me, it's $0.32/day to run the Barn's network. HVAC usage as well being able to see it is helpful to know if it's worth the cost to keep the barn warm or just warm it up when I use it. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this, it's price point over other brands is a bonus. Since purchasing this, we've also added four of the US Smart plugs from emporia that do the energy monitoring and are just as happy with them. We'll likely be adding two additional 16 circuit monitors to our two existing 200a service entrance panels.
