All 3 lights on my Vue: Utility Connect are green, but the app is showing 0, and the Home Assistant integration says the api url is returning 500: Internal Server Error.
Same here. It’s a shame emporia has to rely on the cloud to function. My Solar Assistant sends directly to Homeassistant via mqtt. It would be brilliant if emporia could do the same. I really need to look for an alternative.
I installed a second Vue 2 last night in a subpanel and as soon as I connected it to the web, both the new Vue 2 and the main one in my main panel started showing zero data on seconds and minutes, and not showing the sensors. Hoping this is just a cloud problem that some people are seeing now. There should be no other reason for my first Vue 2 in the main panel to stop working due to the subpanel one.
I’ve noticed that the firmware replacement on Github is now for the Gen 2 units. I have 3 Gen 1 units (lots of circuits). Does anyone know if the replacement firmware is the same for both and the Github just lists the Gen 2 because it’s the current version? I used to think very highly of these Emporia units, but the refusal by the company to allow for a local API is ridiculous. It’s also ridiculous that they came out with a gen 2 version of the units, still using the little “headphone” type plugs for the sensors. I had been told by their support people that Gen 2 was going to use BNC connectors…they lied. I’m now very interested in flashing my units with the ESPhome firmware as this outage is BS. I can also so without hesitation that I would now NEVER recommend this company’s products to my friends.
Same issue in Canada. I also have their EV charger. Thankfully I can still control it. The app does not show the energy usage but the car does show it’s charging. Hopefully this outage is fixed soon.
Just so they see this, I couldn’t access my EV charger during the outage. Luckily I didn’t need to charge. Emporia, maybe make it an option for the charger to default to on when the internet or cloud connection is missing.
