2 weeks and no response.  Support for this product for UK customers seems negligible.  Without a means of controlling devices or an interface into HomeAssistant or other Smart Home ecosystems this product appears to be of no use to me.  Without this issue being resolved I won’t be buying any more of these when I move house and will be looking at an alternative solution.

Hi, I’m Ralph, in the UK.  I’ve have had an Emporia Vue since May, but only had it working for a month, as it kept tripping the RCBO.  I worked out what the problem was fairly quickly, but didn’t get time to fix it until recently.  My consumer unit has multiple earth bars and the unused Vue wires have to be wired into the same earth bar section that the MCB used to power the Vue uses.

Apart from the Vue, my house is heavily automated using Home Assistant and HomeKit.  I use Zigbee devices wherever possible, but also have wifi, rf and bluetooth devices automated. It would be great if the Vue could be integrated into my smart home.

I only have one CT clamp on each ring.  I’m not even sure if its possible to get 2 clamps on a single circuit.  I have clamps on all my circuits and I still get a balance of around 20-40w, or around 390wh per day.  Oddly, the circuits for the smoke detectors and Emporia have never recorded any power consumption.

It would also be useful to be able to graph total usage, in from grid and out to grid.
