Hello everyone, so yeah this is a bummer, I’m retired senior electronics and communications technician with over 50 years on the fields. I like to sit in my chair and monitor all the systems in my house, seems like Emporia is doing the same thing as any other cloud based service product. This is in my opinion a flaw, since you won’t have updated/current data in the event of an extended power outage. I have an Enphase PV system and they are also cloud based, this is one issue they have, when their servers have problems you are left in de the dark, happens quite a bit in our locality too and this is when you really need the service most. I use Emporia to monitor energy consumption during power outages is it the main reason why I bough it, since I have solar power generation it should work on my end but not sure if I will be able to get the current data if the cloud service goes down. There should always be a way to acquire your data locally. Just my 2 cents.
