Hi Everyone –

I’m Kent and have been wanting more visibility about my power usage in comparison to solar generation. I’ve had solar for roughly 6 years and didn’t even use the “watchdog” that came with it because the measurement of total solar generated vs. total power used seemed too arbitrary and not the type of info that can facilitate making changing to energy consumption.

I believe I finally have my Emporia Vue in a usable state after leaving it half configured for about 6 months. Recently, I got the bug to really get it refined and use an integration I found for Home Assistant (which is working great BTW). I’m pretty excited now and have driven my wife crazy talking about energy consumption and savings. Fortunately, she is a very patient lady.

Some of my hobbies include vintage audio restoration, RC, and programming (so basically a full fledged nerd!).

I do have some outstanding questions about solar measurements I’m hoping someone can answer, but we’ll get to that.

Thanks!

Kent
