Within days of installing the system I know that I need to replace my upstairs AC and my garage refrigerator. Those two items account for 40% of my energy usage. Spending $200 for this device saved me from replacing the wrong thing. Absolutely worth every penny.
What is home energy monitoring?
Imagine a device that tracks your home energy use every second and helps you manage it efficiently to save money.
That's exactly what the Emporia Vue 3 Home Energy Monitor offers.
Designed for homeowners who are new to the concept of energy monitoring, the Vue 3 is an innovative device that brings transparency, control and automation right to your fingertips.
Empower your home,
optimize your energy use
Automation
Set a schedule to automatically charge your car at the lowest price. Turn on and off lights based on your household routine. Manage Peak Demand thresholds and automatically adjust your smart devices when utility pricing changes.
Save Money
With easy-to-use graphs and real-time reporting, the Vue quickly helps you identify wasteful energy culprits. For the average homeowner, the Vue can save you 10% or more monthly on your energy bill.
Real-time Data
Unlike a monthly utility bill, the Vue breaks down usage by minute, hour and day. With the free mobile or web-based app, information about your energy consumption is always at your disposal.
Notifications
Stay informed and manage your energy consumption with real-time notifications from your Vue. The device offers customizable notifications, including reminders - never worry that you left the oven on again!

How many sensors do I need?
Monitor Only
The base Vue 3 model will track your systems main lines giving you a Total Usage (or Net) value seeing how much energy your home is using.
No additional 50A CT sensors are included in this kit to track individual circuit usage, but it provides the functionality needed to track your overall usage and leverage energy management features from the Emporia platform.
8 Sensors
This package provides you with 8x 50A CT sensors to track individual circuits within your electrical panel as well as your system mains.
The additional 50A CTs are helpful to track suspect circuit usage, high appliance loads and circuits of interest. This package is helpful if you're not concerned about every circuit within your panel, but focused on a select few branch circuits usage. Also helpful to monitor solar generation if present.
16 Sensors
This package provides the most complete measurement coverage available with a single Vue energy monitor.
It allows for up to 16x branch circuits to be monitored from the same panel that your Vue energy monitor is installed in. Use these sensors to track your solar generation, high appliance load or any circuits of interest.
