Any updates on when we might see this?

@emporia, I agree with @zordrack. If I had to pay for new hardware to enable monitoring more circuits, I would definitely do that. I have some friends who are considering home energy monitoring, and I would just sell them my old hardware for half price if I upgraded.

I really want 4 updates before I consider Emporia almost perfect (and worth a lot more than it costs), in this order of importance:

1. The ability to monitor more circuits
2. On the app’s homes screen where you see the % energy use by each circuit, be able to look at past time periods (e.g., look at any given month)
3. Enable alerts (e.g., when a circuit uses a certain amount of energy at once, over a given period of time, or doesn’t use as much as expected)
4. Support for smart outlets that can either be nested within a circuit or separate from a circuit

With these 4 features, it would clearly be the best home energy monitor under $250.

I agree with this! Customized alerts would be a very nice feature.

• if a circuit uses more than X power for Y amount of time (e.g., forgot to turn something off)
• if a circuit doesn’t use X power for Y amount of time (e.g., fridge stops working)

Thank Jim!!! It’s awesome that you were able to implement this so quickly. You should add it to the forum pages too (showing total # likes in the thread, in addition to the number of voices and posts). Thanks!!!
