I gave up on the Emporia Vue a year ago as with my less than stellar internet connection the data I was getting was horribly unreliable causing more frustration than anything else.
I agree that a local hosting option would make this product more useful. I have poor internet (rural area) and after struggling for months to try and make this work I was forced to give up. I would frequently see circuits report the EXACT same reading for minutes or even hours at a time because my data was not making it to the cloud so the server simply regurgitated the last data it received until it got new data. Bad data is worse than no data! The connection is apparently UDP so the device sends a packet to the cloud and has no idea if it made it or not and has no capability of resending as it has no idea that a packet (or 50) didn’t make it to the cloud.
It took me too long to figure out what the problem was so I can’t return the system and with the unreliability of the data I can’t be bothered to fart around with it and fudge the numbers to get something marginally useful. The devices are already bricks as far as I’m concerned. There is NO reason that your cloud software could not be run locally other than you don’t WANT it to be.
To the others on this thread
North America Bundle (120V)
is a similar product that while more expensive DOES operate locally thus more reliable in installations where internet access is poor or non existent.
