  • EM16P MODEL & LOCAL CONTROL & DATA PRIVACY: Access your home energy monitor data locally via Built-in Web UI, Open API, and MQTT without relying on cloud services.

  • MAXIMIZE SOLAR & ZERO FEED-IN AUTOMATION: Designed for solar homes, the power monitor works with the Refoss app and Home Assistant to automatically use surplus solar power. Appliances like EV chargers, washing machines, and water heaters are powered during midday peaks, maximizing solar self-consumption and reducing low-value electricity feed-in to the grid. Optimizes usage and reduces bills.
  • REAL-TIME MONITORING & ±1% ACCURACY: Monitor voltage, current, active power, and power factor of major appliances. Provides ±1% accuracy (200A: 2–200A; 60A: 1–60A) and ±2% at low current.

With no subscriptions or hidden fees, you get deep historical insights to help you identify every energy-saving opportunity and save 10–20% on monthly bills.
  • SMART ALERTS & CIRCUIT-LEVEL CONTROL: Set usage targets for each individual circuit and receive instant alerts when appliances exceed normal consumption. Refoss app supports automation and peak management to optimize schedules, reduce peaks, and improve efficiency. Real-time electricity usage monitor for circuit-level insights.

Is this one any good? I use home assistant. I hope it's easy to install.

Edit: nevermind, I am too much of a coward to install this.

Not sure how much an electrician would charge to install, but I'm considering this too

I'll bite... always been interested in energy monitoring.

Wish it did more than 16 (plus the 2 mains) but it'll work well enough I guess...

Hows this compared to vue 3?
Update: I think this is a good deal, been waiting to order emporia vue 3 this black friday but I pulled the trigger on this.. based on my research:

Pros to this over emporia:
  • This has 7 days data storage.. if the wifi goes out, the data is not lost while in emporia, you lose data
  • No cloud but I dont need cloud.. This has native HA integration while in emporia you connect to cloud to pull data into Home assistant whihc still is ok if you dont care about privacy etc but there is an unnecessary step in middle for people who dont care about cloud
  • 136$ compared to ~$200 for emporia and for flashing with ESPHome, you need to buy another part worth $10 for emporia and need to do some soldering which is a hassle..
Pros to Emporia over this:
  • Better build quality and trimmable/extendable cablels which I dont care about as I have enough space in my panel but for others this may be a deal breaker..
