Emporia Energy Monitoring Smart Plug, WiFi Smart Outlet Plug Works with Alexa and Google Home - 15a WiFi Outlet with Timer, Mobile App, Home Energy Monitor, Scheduling - 2.4ghz WiFi Only (4 Pack)

These are fantastic. They replaced 4 remotes we used to turn on Christmas lights around the house and timers that worked sometimes. No monthly subscriptions or hubs. Connects easily to our WiFi and Google Home. We set the on/off schedule for each socket that works perfectly and can just tell Google to turn them on and off with a “Hey Google….” When we want them on at other times. The Emporia app is a free download on iPhone/iPad, also available on Alexa and Android. Plus, the app will give you details on how much power each socket consumes while active. Winners!!!

Not difficult to install though time consuming for safety reasons. Do it right the first time and you will be happy. I have two systems and they are working perfectly.

They worked great, and the app is good. It was a little tricky to get them to connect to the wi-fi. You have to make sure you are connecting to a 2.4 g. And even then on one of the four I had to connect to its internal Wi-Fi directly because it wouldn't detect but after that it worked fine.

I’ve been using the Emporia Vue to monitor my home’s energy usage, and it’s been amazing to track almost my entire house. Recently, I added some external off-grid solar installations and wanted a way to sync that usage with my Vue. These Emporia smart plugs were exactly what I was looking for. Integration: They work seamlessly with the Vue app, so I can combine the data and get a clear picture of my real savings from both grid-tied and off-grid solar. Smart features: The plugs can be controlled through the app or Alexa, which adds a lot of flexibility. Accuracy: They provide reliable usage readings, helping me fine-tune my setup. The only thing keeping this from being a 5-star review is that they’re currently limited to 10A continuous load. For many household devices this is fine, but having a 15A continuous version would make these much more versatile, especially for higher-draw appliances. Overall, I highly recommend these plugs if you already have an Emporia Vue and want to expand your monitoring and control. Just hoping Emporia releases a 15A model soon!

Purchased this to help monitor my energy usage. Also needed to pinpoint the usage of my security system to size an appropriate Battery Back Up UPS. Super convenient and easy to set up. Make sure your broadband is dual band and broadcasting on 2.4 ghz. This does not work on 5 ghz. App is smooth and easy to use. Name and group your plugs. Track usage in realy time, by the hour, day, week or month. These have a high amp rating and can handle just about anything you want to put into it. Likely not suitable for power tools, hvac or other large appliances. A TV or small mini fridge should be OK. Don't forget to check out their whole home and circut breaker monitoring system.

These can be a little finicky to connect to your the tracking app, but once connected, they allow you track usage and turn off things plugged into them. You can schedule them to turn items on and off at specific times. Items like TVs & computers draw electricity even when “off”.

Setup was easy-ish. Remote on/off through app (and works with Google) is awesome and, in case the wifi is out, the physical button on the side will turn on/off. Energy monitoring is great and incorporates into my Emporia app and nests wherever is needed (Living Room/Office/Bedroom circuits as desired). If you already have something like the Vue3, these are an excellent addition. I have 2 fans that I now remotely operate, as well as a wax warmer (cuz why not?) and a pellet stove that I can now monitor for efficiency.

Update, Day One of Zero Connection: It's a saturday and late at night. So I've had a long conversation with Emporia's AI assistant. What AI discovered is that I need to speak with a live agent. I disagree. Given the sophistication of the Ai, I doubt their programmers are being paid to keep the product updated, and I laugh at any prospect a third party IT Crowd agent has to resolve it. I see zero chance this product will magically work with my eero mesh network. There is no bluetooth onboarding, and the most likely scenario is that the plugs need an update to become compatible with the mesh but can't because it won't connect. I think even this is a far fetched theory. Ai promises the other expensive energy monitoring kit has Bluetooth onboarding, but this will in no way help to fix the "smart" plug issue. As it stands, this product is now the worst that I've tried, simply due to the fact it has zero connection. The former worst actually formed a connection after a few hours of trying, and sustained that connection, but their software did not deliver their promised energy monitoring. I expect that Emporia actually has some great monitoring features. I have formulated a plan to visit with an older router to form an initial connection to these Emporia "smart" plugs and will update the score then. So consider this one star review as tentative. Original review: One star because it's been over an hour and the device simply won't connect through its own emporia energy app. Keep in mind I have successfully connected several other brands of "smart" plugs. Attempts have included all 4 plugs in the kit on both Android and iOS. I also purchased the $200 energy monitoring kit so I WILL get this thing to work. Until then, having nothing to report on this product... I highly recommend Kasa and Meross for working right away, and working brilliantly with gorgeous information saturated interfaces. Govee rates highly and has a sortof useful control function from its hygrometers. Sonoff took me a year just to win the registering speed competition. Last place deserves no mention. Seriously guys, if it can't work as soon as you plug it in, don't sell it yet. I mention all these as proof that I am no stranger to selecting weirdly required fields on so called "smart" devices to just get them to freakin work. I also take issue with having to type in my email password into the Emporia app on a pop up to connect through google, so this will keep at least one minus star. It's very confusing to be asked to create a log in, then be confronted with your email nickname, then be asked for your explicit email password. One has to wonder if any changes will erase vital email log in info, or if it will fail to log in using my nickname (so why did it autofill with it???) Google's popup to log in to apps is deeply flawed.

I have an Emporia car charger and liked the app on my phone, so I decided to go with these smart plugs. They are legit, from accurate real-time reporting and an export feature to graph utilization. Worth buying a brand name when it comes to smart plugs

Los felicito pocos proveedores quedan con tanta calidad de servicio, tuve un problema con dos de los dispositivos explique el problema y sin tantas vueltas me cambiaron los dispositivos muchas gracias ojala sigan existiendo empresas como estas

I was able to target high consumption devices at home and reduce my bill significantly. I love them, I had to buy more than one kit to cover most of the outlet in the house with permanent appliances on them. Worth the price.

Excelente producto muy recomendable
