Emporia Smart Home Energy Monitor with 8 50A Circuit Level Sensors | Real Time Electricity Monitor/Meter | Solar/Net Metering

Product Information

billt is right about the benefits of the more compact toroidal CTs if you're prepared to pop a few wires off the busbar (you can use circuit Neutrals) but without lots of tinkering you might not be able to make them work as plug-and-play with the Emporia. FWIW I'm not interested in using the Emporia cloud/app function and would only use it if I can get it working local connection only. APPLIANCE MONITORING WITHOUT GUESSWORK: Ad up to sixteen (16) 50A sensors to accurately monitor your air conditioner, furnace, water heater, washer, dryer, range, etc. The hub can be notified on a change in power level for each device, that change can trigger one or more rules.

All of that, while also connecting directly to other smart home gadgets such as thermostats for more granular control. So, until I am able to get a contractor out to update the main panel to a new box with some more room, my installation will be limited to this smaller panel. If one is with the supplier of electricity “EDF” it is very well detailed, not needing to make dangerous assemblies in the electric boards. The Emporia EV charger with ProControl is ideal for multi-family, workplaces, rentals, fleets and other parking situations that require access controls for tenants, employees, guests and other regular drivers.You’ll be able to hear the monitor power on and then you can proceed with setting up the monitor via the app and connecting it to your WiFi.

I found that with one CT on the main feed, I could seen what our base load was, could see the fridges turning on and off at night and also see when the washing machine went on etc. designing the rules to achieve said complexity does require thinking quite carefully about the logic. Regularly monitoring your washing machine is like expecting to save energy because you have a display attached to your smart meter - it doesn't.The Emporia V2X Charging Station is a 40A level 2, bi-directional car charger that can use your car battery to power your home (V2H) or the grid (V2G).

The last step of the physical install is to connect sensors to the individual breakers you want to monitor. I suspect that some of te stuff that is being complained about relates to the HA not being installed. I've run the open energy software on a home baked system for quite a long time and haven't had any issues with it.From a quick perusal, seems like the iota watt covers monitoring pretty well, but I didn’t see anything indicating switching/control.

Emporia’s app isn’t as sophisticated as Sense’s, but its hardware does a better job of identifying where energy is consumed because it monitors the energy flowing over up to 16 individual circuits in addition to the mains power. The issue for me with fitting them inside the CU is that the ASHP, UFH, MVHR and solar water are all on one CU circuit, so I wouldn't get any granularity about the individual demand from each of those devices. These charts are adjustable from seconds to years and by metrics, like Amps, Gal of Gas, Car Miles, Carbon, Trees or the Dollars and watt hours shown above.While also including enough extra wires, wire nuts, and guide materials to ensure an easier installation than might otherwise be the case.
