Emporia Vue 3 Home Energy Monitor with Flexible Sensors

The Vue 3 3-phase energy monitor package was exactly what I need to test and solve an energy consumption problem. Our main feed (600 amp 208V Wye 3 phase) and all of our sub panels are three phase. The water treatment area sub panel was where I installed the monitoring package. We were seeing 5kW of use continually and that was not normal. We isolated each load and could see that the Reverse Osmosis system was causing the problem, it would stay on and because it ran the well pump would then run. A fix of the RO system and the problem was gone. We still have the monitoring system installed, but will likely put it back in the box soon and save for a future troubleshooting exercise. Rental of monitors would have been more expensive.

I was impressed with the seamless app setup and flawless performance. Most home automation systems I install seem to require multiple setup attempts or "fiddling" with settings; although the App requires a small learning curve, once figured out it "just works". Installation was reasonablly easy (I'm an Electrical Engineer), but the chunky current sensors made it impossible for me to cram more than 5 circuit sensors into my panel (my panel uses many Duplex breakers making wiring tight). By focusing on the high-draw circuits, I still get lots of great information. I did need to use the red flexible main sensors due to my panel's configuration (more work to install, but seem accurate). If you're not comfortable with electricity and home wiring, you will want to hire an electrician.

2 Emporia Vue 3s installed 30 days ago in the main panel of a off grid solar system monitoring 24 circuits 2 cts actually as a experiment monitoring the feeds to the Vue 3s no need to do that they don't consume any energy. Great products I've had a Vue 2 installed since 2022 and it has worked flawlessly.

Emporia is amazing! I’m an energy auditor and this is one of the best tools I use. I’m recommending to my clients.

Absolutely awesome piece of hardware and great app!

Finally, I can demonstrate to my tenant how much energy he is wasting. I added the monitor to the sub-panel at my rental cottage. No more guessing at who's using what. Maybe now he will stop running the heater and the AC simultaneously. :)

I installed the Vue 3 in a 3-phase, 240/415V distribution board, with 8 monitors. The large 200A CT clamps were a tight fit, but the setup from there was fairly seamless. Really happy with the product, the app works well for my simple setup (no EV, PV or battery).

I installed the Vue Energy Monitor in my houses' main panel a few months ago. I am amazed at the level of detail it provides for energy monitoring. I quickly found out that an old mini fridge drink box I had in the garage was cycling on way too often. It was using more energy than my indoor air handler. I quickly replaced that old box. The Vue is a robust product, and the app provides an abundance of detail. A+++ in my opinion.

It disconnected from wifi and says is connected but never updates the online reading status. I’ve waited one hour after reconnecting. I’ve turned on and off the Vue 3 and the wifi and it says is connected first but then doesn’t updates the reading online status since November 9, 2025

I'm very pleased with the products (I have six), but I was hoping for more. Five of the monitors are at the main panels in our four-unit apartment building, one for each apartment and one for the house. The sixth meter is at a subpanel in one of the apartments and is nested under the main monitor monitor for that apartment.
I was hoping that I would be able to see the coincident load of all the meters together to make sure that the main service is not overloaded. I understand that a new feature may be available in the future for doing this. Please advise

Easy to install. Great stats in the app and they keep working on their products. I have used their support too and they are very helpful. I would recommend.

I’ve installed two Emporia Vue 3 monitors with 16 sensors each on my two electric panels, plus a third Vue monitor dedicated to my solar panel — and the system has been outstanding. I also use Emporia smart plugs to track and control individual devices, which adds another layer of insight and flexibility.

Without needing a technical background, I’ve been able to monitor solar production (over 319 kWh/week), track panel-level usage, and manually time my EV charging to align with peak sun hours — achieving up to 88% solar offset. The smart plugs help me isolate background loads and optimize usage even further.

The Vue 3 system gives me clear, real-time insights that help me make smarter energy decisions every day. It’s easy to use, incredibly accurate, and has made a huge difference in how I manage my home’s energy. I haven’t installed the Emporia Level 2 EV charger yet, but I’m planning to — and I’m confident it will integrate seamlessly.

Highly recommend Emporia to anyone looking to take control of their energy use. Their products are reliable, intuitive, and truly empowering.

I do really enjoy the product and the visibility it is giving me into how much energy different household appliances use & has helped me reduce my energy demand - especially during peak pricing (I'm on an hourly rate plan). I only wish I had 24 sensors to observe more circuits! The only issue I've had with the product is some faulty CT sensors upon delivery which had to be replaced. It seems like the packaging could be improved upon (to prevent damage during shipping) and perhaps better Quality Control to ensure their product is not faulty before shipping (it seemed like the CT magnets on a couple of my CTs were somewhat loose and one fell out). I will say that the Emporia Tech Support team is very professional, easy to work with & really prompt in sending me out replacement parts to address the problems.

I got this system because there is a three day delay from ComEd to see if my solar panels are producing more energy than I use. The Sunrun app shows the total solar production at the end of the day but nothing live. The Emporia Vue 3 Home Energy Monitor shows my solar panel production live. It also displays Net Production if supplying power to the grid or Net Usage if drawing. I liked the results so much, I bought 8 more sensors. The system was easy to install. The only problem I had was I didn't make the solar sensors bidirectional when I set it up. It was easy to fix after I unmerged the solar circuits so I could make them bidirectional then I merged them again. Circuits can only be set to bidirectional if they are not merged.

200 amp panel, with a 50 amp Generac sub-panel for backup generator. Always wondered how close to capacity of my 10,000 watt--40 amp/phase genset were the critical circuits pulling, now thanks to my Vue 3 installation, I know! Bought the base monitor (2-200 CT's) and 2 extra 50 amp CT's, turns out the circuits on the transfer panel are no where near the capacity I've got. Maybe a little out of the ordinary installation-wise, but gives me exactly the data I was hoping to see.

Customer was very happy with set up

Fantastic install. We were able to install 3 sets and 1 separate in another sub panel for whole home monitoring experience, with solar back feeding the service. The customer found out 5 minutes after install there were 3 heat trace circuits that were on 100% of the time he had no knowledge of, due to improper panel labeling, and the install has already paid for itself!! 3 kits installed and communicates to 1 single app!!

I was already familiar with this style of product having installed a similar system almost 10 years ago. Times have changed! This was so easy to configure in the app. I had to poke around in the app a bit to know where to go to set what, but once I had that handled … well, sweet! And so easy to see what I want at a glance!

Am planning a solar and battery backup system for my home and wanted more data on appliance energy consumption, especially start-up current and energy use over longer periods. I am a trained electronic engineer so was not daunted by the installation but found that the instructions were excellent and installation was straightforward. Since then, I have been collecting the data I need and have found some ‘interesting’ energy sinks that I was not anticipating - and which I will deal with to save some extra money. So I am extremely pleased so far.

That said, I also learned one thing that I believe could be highlighted as a warning: in a load center, the red and black phases were not in the order I was expecting. I believed that the left side was “black-red-black etc.” and the right side was “red-black-red etc. “. This assumption was wrong with my Square D load center. The phases are identical on reach side. A warning note to check the phases would be a nice addition. (I did check so it wasn’t a problem for me).
