I took advantage of the recent Black Friday sale by Emporia for a Vue 3 bundle that includes 4 of their smart plugs for the same price ($199) as the 16 sensor Vue 3. I didn’t do my typical deep dive research into smart plugs like I had done on the Vue 3 and just impulse purchased since it was the only “deal” available.
Everything arrived last night so I decided to try one of the plugs. I found the ha-emporia-vue integration and a few mentions of it via Google search, installed it and then installed the Emporia Energy app (Android), got the first plug adopted and working. All good. Enter the Emporia account credentials into the HA integration and up comes my one outlet.
But I noticed that the controls are just on/off and 3 sensors (energy this month, this day and per minute avg). All good, but I was wondering if any of the additional functions from the Emporia app like schedules, timer were also available? or expectation is to include them as simple on/offer and local electricity demand devices and everything else you need to automate via HAOS?
When I add the Vue 3 I assume it will show up as another device as well as each branch circuit CT sensor similar to the Smart Plugs?
