Incredible Value and improving
Like amazon, who sets the standard for Mail order shopping and customer service. Emporiaâs devices and customer service set the standard for electrical energy monitoring systems. I dont believe I can give a higher compliment than that to either one. Anyone who doesnt believe amazon is the gold standard to which all other mail order need to strive for hasnt much experience with mail order. That said, this review is about emporiaâs devices which I use to watch and control my electrical usage at my business and house. Whether you are an electrical engineer (spaceflight controller) who was responsible for monitoring the energy usage on the space shuttle, or a homeowner who cares about their electrical usage, emporiaâs devices provide you with the insight you need to understand both the IN and OUT of electrical energy in your electrical systems. Emporia makes installation and set up as simple (and safe) as possible and monitors electrical energy usage (and/or generation) throughout your system. And is the most cost effective system available.. I would know, i built this system 20 years ago when i was a spaceflight controller in the MCC using current transformers, DATAC, and the basic programming in the Excel spreadsheet to collect and display the data. Im retired now and cant build what emporia offers for 1/10 the price. Whereas the information presented by Emporia software plenty sufficient for 99 percent of homeowners, (more than most want) emporiaâs data sampling far exceeds what the presently used so future features are merely software away. For those worried about the cost of uploading data amount and cost rest assured, it is almost too small for the router, or phone to measure at a few megabytes per month. Quality? Ive had it operating since April 2024 when i installed my solar and have had no problems and no failures. I have cut open one of the smartplugs and the electronics is typical of most electronic devices. The devices are just too cheap to worry about abuse and repair or insurance. Features? Well the present features and abilities used with there smartplugs far exceed other âhome monitoringâ systems and threaten industrial systems which cost tens of thousands. I learned in a management class once âyou cant manage what you dont know nothing aboutâ, and this emporia system enables you to Know what you are trying to manage. Electrical energy.. which is only going to increase in cost.

Awesome product
My brother installed this at his house and loved it. After seeing his system in action, I bought one for my house. After installing mine, I liked it so much a purchased a second system as I have two independent breaker panels and wanted better monitoring of my whole house electricity use. Do you need to actually see the energy distribution of you home circuits? Probably not. But . . . is it reassuring when away from home to know that your lift pump, well pump, outdoor hot tub, furnace, freezer, refrigerator, etc. are cycling as expected? Most definitely! Installation was easy enough. You need to fully understand the breaker panel and risks involved when working close to hazardous electrical wires. If you’ve ever added or replaced circuit breakers on your own, the installation is straight forward.The system monitors the two mains coming from the power company and up to 16 individual circuits in the breaker panel. You can monitor a 220v “dual” breaker using two of the 16 sensors (one on each “hot” wire to each half of the breaker), or you can use a single sensor on one side of the breaker and “double” the usage measurement automatically in the app. For an electric HW heater, this makes total sense as the usage is identical for both sides of the breaker. Using only one sensor in this case frees up a sensor to use elsewhere.I bought a 16 sensor and an 8 sensor system. The base station for each is the same, so I can always order another 8 sensors to maximize monitoring. For me, I really only care about the big energy appliances and I do not monitor most of my 15 amp circuits (lighting, stereo/TV etc.) The app automatically sums all circuits per breaker panel and includes the “balance” of non-monitored use as a separate line entry. I can tell how much electricity the entire panel used any given second, hour, day, week, month, and the app sorts usage from highest to lowest.Lastly, I purchased a 4 pack of their “smart plugs” to dial in usage of a few small appliances that are not on an isolated/single breaker. They nest seamlessly into the app and add additional monitoring that I find useful. I never knew how much I would appreciate having this information available at any time and from anywhere on the planet. I doubt I will ever save money using this product, but I will forever enjoy the ability to monitor and measure the electricity usage of my home.

The app could be better, but the device works well
Overall, has met my needs well.Pros:Easy to install, if you are mechanically inclined.The cost is reasonable, compared to equivalents.Cons:The app is Cloud-tied ONLY. Does not work without internet.Its 3rd party integration (home assistant, etc) is poor, and requires significant work to get working.The app does some funky things in how it is organized, but for my uses- it works well enough.
