Emporia | VUE002

Description

Emporia VUE002 (Vue Gen 2) is a whole-home energy monitor that measures mains usage and up to 16 branch circuits using CT clamps. It connects via 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi and provides detailed consumption data for automation, dashboards, and energy tracking.

Overview

My Implementation

I plan to use the Vue Gen 2 to monitor whole-home usage and key circuits, then feed the data into Home Assistant for dashboards and automations.
