This is my layout, what I meant as far as grouping the 220 breakers is so I can see total usage for those big appliances. I too have a heat pump and leave the thermostat at one temperature all the time, those heat pumps don’t like being switched around in temperature and it is more economical to leave it at one temperature. I like the vue’s so far! I do monitor both legs of my 220 units so I can see if there is a problem later on down the road if the kw is definitely higher or lower on one leg or the other, especially if I know they are supposed to be around the same value. Anxiously waiting for the next app update when they said that some of these suggestions will be put in place.
I installed (2) vue’s in my panel. I had a total of 29 circuits to monitor. I installed one for the ODD side breakers and one for the EVEN side breakers. At first, I only hooked up one set of mains on the ODD side but I did not like not seeing the % for the EVEN side so I installed the ones on the EVEN side as well. Now I see the actual percentage on both vue’s and all is good, no .5 multiplier needed. It would be nice to be able to group both vue’s together into one display but Emporia says they are working on that for their next update. After that, I may be able to remove one set of the mains. It would also be nice to keep the layout fixed in order of breaker location instead of by % and having them jump all over the place. Also would be nice to group double breakers to get total usage. I put sensors on each leg so I can see if there is a problem with a 220 motor later and be able to see it right away. A comment section for each circuit would be nice as well o note which plugs and lights are on each circuit. Great device so far, I am very happy with it!
