The big difference is that the Sense system does not use individual circuit sensors, it relies on forensic information from the electrical footprint of each device. I did need to set my own sntp server (network doesn't allow traffic to the outside) but that didn't help.

Its supposed to be able to identify each load via the mains due to their respective unique power consumption profile. I tried everything I could think of to upload the required configuration but of course because of the lack of the required tool chain, that got me nowhere :(. And, in fact, it also provides second-by-second, minute-by-minute, day-to-day, month-to-month, and year-to-year data.

Of course if you want to monitor individual circuits then you'd need something else - but the Emporia system seems to be a less useful system than emonPi or the emoncms software on your own system with an emonTx.

It is based around a ESP32 and it does have an integration available via HACS that utilizes Emporia's cloud API. It supports either single-phase up to 240VAC line-neutral; single, split-phase 120/240VAC; and three-phase up to 415Y/240VAC (no Delta). The hub can be notified on a change in power level for each device, that change can trigger one or more rules. To sum it up, a pi4 64 bit HA server configuration can not compile the Emporia Vue 2 configuration via ESPHome. Open energy monitor is very good and was my first choice, the Emporia Vue is however a LOT cheaper, I assume because they are selling your data somehow.APPLIANCE MONITORING WITHOUT GUESSWORK: Comes with eight 50A sensors to accurately monitor your air conditioner, furnace, water heater, washer, dryer, range, etc.

The picture gets a little murkier for circuits serving groups of electrical outlets supplying power to televisions, lamps, countertop kitchen appliances, phone chargers, clocks, smart speakers, and the like. It can however generate a configuration stub that, once uploaded to the emporia with a wired connection, will allow the emporia to connect to the network via wifi.Several high profile players have already closed down services when the cost of providing server bandwidth for free became unviable. 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. Emporia Energy specializes in products that make usage more transparent like smart plugs, which can give you info on a specific appliance or device plugged into an AC outlet. A sophisticated algorithm identifies the electrical patterns as the appliances, lights, and other devices in your home draw electricity while they operate.

They don't advertise, so you won't have heard of it, but having tried the Emon devices, the Brultech GEM and Brultech ECM, the Iotawatt is the best of these. Following a relocation to the Pacific Northwest, he is now converting his new home, an 1890 Victorian bungalow, into a modern smart home. Capable of monitoring up to 16 individuals in addition to the mains power, the Emporia Vue Gen 2 does a great job at pinpointing electricity hogs in your home. Yes, I read the thread about the Ecodan base load concern - I am not sure if there was a conclusive answer though?

If one is with the supplier of electricity “EDF” it is very well detailed, not needing to make dangerous assemblies in the electric boards. To compute real power (Watts) is the average of the products of voltage and current of each sample pair. com/making-dumb-dishwashers-and-washing-machines-smart-alerts-when-the-dishes-and-clothes-are-cleaned/). Edit > I'm not saying one method is better than the other, just saying for me this is overall easier and more maintainable, at least until we can compile it on ARM.
