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.

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

[scrambler]

Do the subpanels that hold the Solar breaker only hold the solar breaker, or do they also hold regular load breakers?

Because if they do then you cannot monitor these subpanel through their feeding breaker, because the power will eventually go in both direction there, and right now, the 50A CTs do not report bidirectional power. In the future they will, but right now they don’t.

So if a 50ACT is on a breaker designated as load and installed in the load direction, they will always record the power as + regardless of direction, and 50ACTs on a breaker designated as Solar (installed in reverse) will always report load as minus regardless of direction

[scrambler]

Well regarding the problem mentioned above, it eventually fixed itself, so not quite sure what happens.

If it happens to you, be patient 🙂

 

[scrambler]

It does detect the L1 L2 phase to find out what CT is on which one.

When you did your new setup, did you make sure the Solar breakers were OFF, AND that you had some significant house load on both phases?

[scrambler]

If you moved CTs around, did you do a complete reset and re initialization of the APP.

Because it does all its calibration during the initial setup, and may be moving CTs around messed things up

[scrambler]

Thanks, but this is why I am asking @emporiainfo to clarify things.

They very specifically said on other posts that unlike Gen 1 that used 120Volt for calculations, the Gen2 used true Amps, True Volts AND power factor to calculate the Watts. They even said that it is possible they will include this data in the data download at some point in the future.

This is why their last remark is confusing as it somewhat implies some of the data I mention are still assumptions…

[scrambler]

@emporiainfo

You last statement

“(as now it only considers 120v when calculating amps)”

Is confusing me.

There has been many talks about what the Gen2 actually measures, and I had understood from what Emporia reported, that it measures Actual voltage, Amps and Power factor to calculate accurate Power.

Are you now saying that this is not the case??

Can you be very specific about what is being measured and what is eventually being Assumed?

Thanks

May be the app is in a messed up stage.

Do you have an other device you can install the app on to see if you have the same issue there?

[scrambler]

I have no problem scrolling through sec, min, hr data on the app, so this is not the issue.

Try a shutdown and restart of the device the app is installed on
