Hello @currentdraw, thanks for the feedback!   We are working on several enhancements related to IFTTT, integrations and additional features on plugs such as alerts.   We will get these updates out just as soon as possible.

Hello @bearalypse Please keep in mind total usage is calculated off your solar usage and Main usage(net metering).   Increasing the value of your solar generation will have a direct and linear impact to your total usage since this is looking at your net metering usage..which is not changing so total usage goes up.

Please reach out to our support team if you would like to discuss further.

Hello @dbeam16 we are still working on trying to resolve this issue.   It has proven to be more difficult that we originally had thought.   The Amps are reported correctly the expansion circuits when using the app multiplier.   However, when it comes to the mains, at the Amp measurement we are trying to figure out how to properly identify ALL dual pole circuits so when those are energized the app/software will know to calculate amps correctly.

Another option we are pursuing is showing amps on each phase, while this will not resolve the issue at hand, it will show customers the amperage on each leg of the panel.

We really appreciate your feedback and hope you understand we are working as fast and hard as we can to resolve this issue.

Hello @Euroboy this is really interesting and I have forwarded this to our firmware team for investigation.   I’m not aware of this restriction but we certainly will look into this and let you know what we find out.

@waterboyz I have sent this to our web developer to see if we can have this changed so it only show minimized to a ‘little bubble’ and remain minimized when moving to other screens.

Hello @larryboy this is great feedback!  Currently the total usage is not available to be graphed and I have added this as request.   I’m sure many customers like yourself would like this so we will definitely do our best to get this released just as soon as possible.

Thanks so much for your feedback and please let us know if you have any further feedback on how to improve the user interface.

Hello @Euroboy thanks for your feedback on the ability to change the name on the main sensors, I have submitted that to the team.   We are working on the ability to combine Vue’s as well as sensors, and we can look into maybe offering a different way to calculate ballance, or create a new category for customers like yourself.

Please let us know if you have any other questions or ideas!

Thanks! Adam

hello @kkl yes the sensors can be extended with common audio cables, the 50A sensors are 2.5 mm and the 200A sensors are 3.5 mm.   We don’t recommend extending beyond 30ft.

Thanks @SerenityNetworks please let us know if you have any other questions.

Hello @WillowGroveWeatherCenter,

If you plugs are going solid Red light that means they are connected to the internet but toggled off, if yo have to do a WiFi reset then there could be something wrong with the plug?   If you could please reach out to our support team and provide your email that the plugs are registered under we can investigate further.

We will replace any defective units immediately.

Good Afternoon @smithsrsn, thanks for taking the time to provide these recommendations for the app enhancements related to capturing maximum levels reached by specific circuits.  Having dealt with this personally – circuit getting overloaded – this is a great idea and I have shared with the development team.

Hello @Alphabataz,

Yes, you can use a 20A breaker to tap into for powering the Vue.   Please note that the wire for the tap we supplied is only rated for 15A, so please make sure you have the right gauge wire for the larger amperage of those breakers.

It is safe to have the white and blue from the wire harness under the terminal in the neutral bus bar.

Please let us know if you have any further.

@kpnobvious This is a great idea!  We don’t have SMART outlets on our hardware roadmap, but I will definitely share this with the team.  Thanks for the request!

@scrambler thank you for your feedback and idea on a annual subscription!  We certainly understand your concern.    As many customers are already aware Emporia is working on a Managed Services Plan, that will include among other things, a API which would provide access to all the data.   We are planning for the release of this early this summer.

I really like the idea of the plan you described as well that is a annual one for the data only.    Will definitely run that up to the development team.

Thanks you for your feedback and business!

Hi Tblakely.mail@gmail.com!  Great feedback and we certainly did discuss having alerts be sent via email as well.   We will look into this and see how we can allow our customers to choose their alert method(app notification / email notification).

Just to clarify, are you indicating you are only receiving about 1/2 the notifications that are triggering correctly in the Emporia App?   Have you checked the phone settings and the app settings to ensure you have notification allowed even when the app is in the background.

thanks!

Abdul
