Review on 🏠 Emporia Vue Smart Home Energy Monitor for PG&E, SCE, SDGE, PPL, First Energy, Ohio Edison, Burlington Electric, and Green Mountain Power Customers - Connects to Your Electric Meter and Supports Solar Net Metering by Mauricio Woodard

I've been looking for a good way to control my home's electricity consumption for a while. But options like Sense were not compatible with my built-in panel and meter. I then found out about this product after talking to PG&E about HAN meter options (home network) and they said a lot of recent activations were done with it. For less than $30 I gave it a try. I had it within 24 hours and everything went smoothly except for the Wi-Fi install and PG&E setup (requires 15 minute phone call as I have solar). The app is pretty well made and it's easy to view both historical and real-time usage data. In the image I've attached, green indicates solar power is coming to the grid and blue indicates electric vehicles are charging at night. What pleased me the most was that the real-time data is very close to real-time. I tried it with a heater and it shows the effect within 1-2 seconds and is very accurate (e.g. 900w power consumption change in the app) when turning the heater on and off. Now I can try to track down more 🧛‍♀️ vampires (devices) and try to set up an automation to turn off those devices with a smart timer that turns off at least part of the day. I was hoping that I could reduce the power dissipation. And for a general awareness of the energy consumption when using large household appliances.
