Monitor Individual Circuits without the GuessworkAdd individual 50A sensors to your Vue to monitor up to 16 individual circuits — providing accurate energy use for the appliances and equipment that is important to you. No guesswork. No trying to discern energy signals from background noise. Just simple, easy, and accurate insight into your home. 50A sensors are sold separately and also sold in bundles with the Vue. | Measure Solar Net Metering without Extra HardwareSolar net metering is built right into the Emporia Vue. The simple Emporia iOS and Android app will show when and how much electricity you are consuming and when and how much excess energy you are producing back to the grid — giving you keen insight into the impact of your solar panels as they relate to your energy use. | Installs in the Electrical Circuit Panel of your HomeThe Gen 2 Vue installs in your home’s electrical panel using CT sensor clamps that go around your mains and the other circuits you wish to monitor. DIY instructions included, but a professional electrician is recommended. The Vue system is designed for field installation in a switch enclosure as per 312.8(B) of the 2017 NEC regarding Power Monitoring Equipment. |
Do You have Metal Bus Bar Mains in Your Panel?
Our Flexible Current Sensor solution is now available on the EmporiaEnergy website. These current sensors are meant to replace the 200A main sensors that ship with Gen 2 Vues. They employ a bendable Rogowski coil with a 1.4†(36mm) opening that can fit around most bus bars or into tight spaces where a standard current sensors clamp cannot fit. Installing the Flexible Current Sensors is still dangerous, and Emporia highly recommends that installation be performed by a licensed electrician or other qualified professional.
Add Emporia Smart Plugs to Your Vue
Emporia Smart Plugs (sold separately) can be added to your Vue system to help you to not only monitor the energy of lighting and small appliances, but to also set timers, schedules, and turn them on and off from anywhere, any time with the Emporia app.

easy to install and the monitoring is great has saved me money already and helped change some bad habits

This was a simple install and the app gives all the information needed. From what I saw, this was the best value and no monthly fees. Highly recommend if you want to know how much electricity your home is using.

I was amazed that this picked up such small currents. It is such a valuable tool for making smart energy decisions. I’ve paid for mine in AC costs already. Only had it 1 month.

This energy monitor is by far the best on Amazon. I have the EMCTV2 monitor with 8 CTs in addition to the two main bus CTs. The app is intuitive and informative. I needed to contact customer service and reached a helpful and informative agent who quickly resolved my issue. The csv report comes with a download link for the file. I was able to open it in Excel to further analyze the data.

You should get an electrician to install, to be extremely safe. But l highly recommend this energy monitoring system. Unlike others systems which only the main curren an guess what devices are using what, this always monitoring your AC and other high energy devices real time. The APP and software were very easy to install. A very good product!

Easy to install. Easy to program. Easy to set up app. Only thing I hated is having to download the instructions and print them out.

Primary initial gripe is the connection of the probes to the main device, they're pretty flaky because it's basically a 3.5mm or 2.5mm headphone jack, it can also be awkward to clip the probes around the individual circuits.

Set up was easy you don’t need any skill just you need to be careful around the live electrical as everybody says sets up easily in the app and support is amazing I set the time zone wrong at first and they quickly got back to me in the chat within seconds and told me how to change the time zone love this product would buy it again for another resident I use at my restaurant I also need it for my duel EV charger system fantastic unit high-quality

This energy monitor has already paid for itself by helping me to turn off and get rid of unnecessary loads. The app is great, the meter is super accurate. Only issue is it's a bit of a thing to set up, lots of current sensors, and a ton of wires to organize. You should probably be comfortable working inside your electrical panel, or have a friend who is.

Very cool device to help you figure out where your electricity is going…
Pretty cool device to help you figure out where your electricity is being consumed. Fairly easy to set-up, but I’m also an electrician. I was installing it on an older FPE panel, so there’s not much room. Definitely recommend getting a 6×6 or larger box and attaching that to the panel to house the unit and any extra wiring.
The app is pretty cool, although it would be nice if you could graph the balance.
Great Product, Installation & Pairing Easy. Good app
Easy to install, but would recommend an electrician for safety reasons. Value seems good compared to competitors. Accuracy seems okay so far but need to validate further. App has been good to use.
It would be nice to have automated exporting or the 1s data, but that’s a nice to have. Also being able to buy just the gen 2 vue on its own with 50A sensors would be good.
We had a circuit that was drawing as much energy as the rest of our house was. Our electric bill was insane. My husband hooked the Emporia up to the breakers and immediately found out that we had an auxiliary blower in the heating system that the switch was stuck in the on position. He turned of the power to that breaker and we called a HVAC contractor to come in and fix the blower issue.

Work with HA
Works as needed, I use it with HA , have one issue , not sure it is from HA or this product.
Occasionally looses connection but restores.
Will flash with open source and see if that can keep up signal strong.
So far happy with purchase
I have been looking for a device like this for 15 years. Back then they started at 300$ and did nothing in comparison to this. If you want data collection, this is your gadget. I have a 60 yr old house, had no idea what the breakers went to, this allowed me to find 4 that went to nothing, 1 that went to JUST the doorbell! It updates instantly, so if you watch the graph for the breaker, it will show you if someone rings the doorbell, turns on a light, etc. What I have learned in 3 days: my ac uses about 20 amps, dehumidifier 7 amps, dishwasher 7 amps, window unit 5 amps, my led lights in the garage 7amps! I have already been able to $2.43 off of my daily use, which is about 70$ a month. I have 5 kids, so we use alot.
Problems with the install were my own. 1) There wasn’t enough room in the panel for the unit to fit. I had to install a 6″ X 6″ box adjacent to the electric panel with a 1 1/2″ nipple for the control unit. 2) The 1/8″ phone plugs unplug very easily a very small amount causing the CT to not register. There needs to be some form of retainer for the plugs. Make sure you are able to read each CT before & after closing the panel.
Great product. Like I said the problems were were mine, everything else went very smooth.
Install was pretty easy. I did this myself, however, I am a certified electrician. My inner nerd has loved playing with the mobile app and I have also paired with with my smart home so I can monitor and chart information. I also like the idea of using this as a circuit identifier. By that I mean if I watch the wattage usage and then turn on a computer or something - I can see the spike in usage on whichever circuit it is tied to. Not really nessicary but its a tought and possible... Anyways, so far so good and its cheap enough. I recommend
