      Hi,

      I’ve been using Emporia Vues and Smart Plugs for a while  but just noticed a big problem with my Smartplugs.  I have one monitoring my PC.  It was using about 68W (occasionally 67W) at idle.  I just built a new PC with higher power CPU & GPU.  It’s using 68W at idle.  Weird.  I ran a CPU+GPU stress test – my Smart plug was still reporting 68W (even though the circuit the computer is on went up by 300W when measured at the fusebox).  So then I swapped out that Smart Plug with another one.  It also is stuck at 67/68W.  If I unplug the PC it goes to 0W.

      Do Emporia smart plugs have some sort of problem measuring the power used by PC switching power supplies?  Two of them are definitely staying stuck at 68W when the power increases from (X) to (X + 300W)
