      Support helped debug this yesterday and has a new sensor on the way, but I wanted to see what the issue was.

      I think I might have found the problem. /s

      I’ll fix this one and keep it as a backup or something.

      I had a couple sensors where the ferrite material was cracked.  So when the sensor was closed, it really wasn’t totally.  Interesting behavior – would pick up false power from adjacent wires.  Emporia sent new ones – no problem.  Chat support is great.  Firmware and app updates for the Vue 2 – not so much.
