Do you know for a fact that the load CTS do not account for the power factor? If so from where/ whom?

Because I was told initially that they did measure power factor to measure real power.

In the past they have been pretty good at answering, so they may all be busy on the next big update that is supposed to come this summer. We know they are a small team, so I am tempted to cut them some slack 🙂

When you have a real problem, it is always best to also email support directly, they may miss a forum post once in a while, but I always got answer on direct email to support.

The 50A CT has been said by emporia to be capable of measuring bidirectionally, but the SW right now is not doing it.

They mentioned before that they do plan to support bidirectional reading on the 50A CT in the future, and all the solar homeowners hope it will be in the big summer update 🙂

You may want to provide more details on your configuration, like all settings, plan selected, graph of the kW produced during the period etc…

A line drawing would definitely be a good idea.

Just keep in mind that right now only the 200A CTs report bidirectional data.

The 50A CT for now do not (EE said they will at one point in the future), so if they are on anything that has power flowing in both direction depending on the situation, you wont be able to know that from the reported values.

I see you want to do the same as me, and yes, Frequency would be good too 🙂

Too bad

Thank you for the update.

Actually, it seems we just lost data before June 16th at 3:01

When I try to download the last week today, the minutes only start from june 16th at 3:01, same as yesterday

The hours downloads are fine and.

Can you tell us if the data between june 12th and june 16th is lost for good?

Getting Volts, Amps, and Power factor is HIGH on my list of wanted improvement.

This would not only make the Vue a great monitoring tool, but also a great troubleshooting device, which is especially valuable for solar users.

[scrambler]

This appears to be the default view until the Vue actually syncs up with the data.

I agree that it does not really make sense to show that list, it would be best not to have any items listed until a sync is established and can show the real devices and numbers. It would be less ambiguous.

[scrambler]

They already said they are considering it, there is a long list of things people want to get.

There is suppose to be a major update this summer, we will see what makes it in  … 🙂

If you put a 50ACT on a solar only line, then you just mount it in opposite direction, and declare it as such during the setup.

Then its power will be recorded as production and not consumption.

You do need to make sure the Solar breaker the CT is mounted on is OFF when you do the setup, and that you only turn it on when instructed.

[scrambler]

Right now the app only understands if the solar CTs are after the Main CTs.

If you have a side tap with the solar before the Main CTs, it wont calculate totals properly.

This is supposed to be fixed in a future release.

FOr now, you would need to move the Main CTs before the Solar Tap

[scrambler]

You will have 4 separate devices in the App, each reporting the individual loads connected to them properly.

There will not be any global view accounting for the interconnection
