I really hope they add local access. Honestly almost every reason I want my emporia vue has been ruined by it’s having to poll data from the cloud. It’s unreliable to the point where I can’t build the integrations off the power data that I wanted it for in the first place. I realize some of the problem is my Starlink internet connection but doesn’t change the fact that the lack of local access is what ruins this product for me.
I find it sad that Emporia can’t see the value in local data and would rather anger the small percentage of vocal customers. Sure some people may block it from uploading to the cloud if they had local access but I’d bet that the net effect of local access is more more sales and more data.
