My name is Randy. I found the product while searching for something with the ability to send an alert when a circuit has been drawing power for an excessive amount of time. I raise cattle and have a remotely located pump that pumps water from a pond into Livestock water tanks located in other pastures. This pump is powered from a buried electrical circuit that on a breaker box in a building close to my home (wifi). The problem i was trying to solve is that occasionally one of the cattle manage to dislodge the overflow/drain stand up pipe in the tank resulting in it being drained and subsequently the pump running continuously trying to refill the tank. This can go unnoticed for 12-24 hours depending on when they knock it out.
I installed a Vue 2 and set up an alert notification for this circuit looking for greater than 0.5kw for 15 minutes. This works great. Under normal circumstances this pump never runs longer than 10 consecutive minutes. So if it runs for 15, there is a problem that needs to be investigated.
Thanks for this product at an affordable price.
Randy
