Emporia Vue 3

I see a few posts from last year about integrating the Emporia Vue 3 with HA but I did not see any solid answer about how to or if a solution exists. I have read about flashing the Emporia Vue 3 but really don’t want to do that.

Any new updates on integrating this for power monitoring?

Thanks

there is an integration that uses their cloud API, so the smallest unit you can work with is the minute average. It’s good enough. I think you have to add it via HACS

Thanks. I will search around.

There is a document way to flash an ESPHome config onto it but that is at your own risk: Emporia Vue Gen 3 Power Monitoring is Compatible with ESPHome & Home Assistant | digiblurDIY

I have not done this myself due to insurance concerns of modifying the product given its installation location.

I emailed Emporia a couple months back and it seemed like they were not interested in adding a local API. They said they would take the request down, but the vibe I got is that it wouldn’t go anywhere. For the record support was polite and responsive. (Edit: tone)

With that being said, the power minute average is enough for most of my needs.

  • Overall power usage calculations
  • Threshold helpers to determine if an appliance is currently running, primarily for washer/dryer cycle notifications and reminders to turn the stove off.

I would also love to not be sending my power stats to a 3rd party, but its something I’ve accepted.
