I came back to this forum to ask about adding days/times to alerts.

Alert me if total consumption exceeds x on MWF between 3pm and 5pm, this logic should not be a huge life to implement.

I would second this request

Peter,

If you are going to trash it, could you send them my way, please?

And here we go again…

Would love to see a picture.

 

I am going to look for a used Orbit box and see if someone is getting rid of one

Steve, I too am waiting for Emporia to fix the issues with 2 units on one panel and suming multiple CTs.  As soon as these features are released I will be buying a second unit.

Have you seen any improvement on the app/UI for 2 VUEs on the same panel?

[7_2kW_in_Mesa_AZ]

No, loads are not necessarily perfectly balanced.

As an example, on my electric dryer both legs are used by the heating element, but only one leg is used by the motor. The result is that one leg has a higher load than the other.

I am so jealous of all you guys with panels inside your house (and lucky enough to have a basement).  Here in AZ basements are a luxury item, and our panels are outside.  My panel can reach 160+ in the heat of the summer.  It makes it hard to play with sensors during the day, and at night it is hard to work in the dark.

playfair – I am sure you know this, but going to mention it for anyone else who sees this:

When combining loads on a single CT, make sure you combining loads on the same phase.  Most panels (at least in my area) alternate phases as you go down the breakers.  If you join adjacent loads (different phases) they will cancel each other out.

Check out visable (it is based on the VZW network) and pretty cheap.

They don’t officially support mifi hotspots, but I was able to take an old Galaxy S9 (some people have reported success with even older devices), and turn it into a hotspot.

It soumd like this is on its way:

Hi all-

I will admit I am here for some serious handholding (sorry in advance).

1. I am wondering if PyEmVue would allow me to retrieve minute interval data that is more than 7 days old, that is as far back as I can go in the app.

2. Could I get some help getting this up and running?

a. I have a clean Ubuntu 21.04 VM up and running with Python 3.9.5

b. I have run python3 -m pip install pyemvue and got all the dependencies

c. how do I use the command now?  Anytime I try Python says it can’t find the module.

 

Thank you all

This weekend I noticed that there is now an option to select your utility and rate plan and use an open source service called openEI.org for rate information.

[7_2kW_in_Mesa_AZ]

The vendors response is through and complete, I just wanted to add I am using 2 20A (unoccupied) as I already had them in my panel.

Do not use a tandem or two pole breaker.
