Installed new monitor and 16+2 CTs and initially hardwired connection and setup was without issues. Then I realized that it was supposed to be on a different VLAN and here the issues started coming.

First, during initial setup it did not prompt me to connect to WiFi (no antenna attached either).

My VLAN has no device isolation on it so I don't understand what is the problem.
Turned the breaker off for a few minutes, disconnected LAN, made sure it is set up correctly from Network side. Removed device from account prior and when trying to set up a new device it keeps asking for that damn WiFi. I do not want this on a WiFi network.

Removing the device from my account does not reset the config and all the breakers are what I named them before...

Did a clear data now, going to shut the breaker off again and will see if it will grab an IP address or I have to keep fighting it.

Simple toggle? TURN OFF WIFI?

How to FACTORY RESET this thing, settings in the app won't do much, goes through same process and auto connects to WiFi. Do I need to return the device and request a new one so it is fresh?

Is there a reason why emporia won’t incorporate monitoring the batteries with a vue on a solar system with their EV charger install so excess solar will actually work. Excess solar seems to be pretty useless with home batteries as it will see the batteries draining as excess solar and completely drain your batteries.

If you have ever had both Excess Solar and Smart Saver enabled and wondered why you never saw a solar charging session, this update is for you.

The problem

Excess Solar activates your charger when solar production exceeds your home's consumption. But it only activates when the charger is off. Smart Saver keeps the charger running during off-peak hours, typically overnight. The result: two features that should work together were canceling each other out. Customers who set up both got zero solar charging sessions, not because anything was broken, but because the features were in direct conflict.

The fix: Solar Window

Solar Window defines a time period during which your charger will only run if solar is available. During that window, the charger stays off and waits for solar. When enough excess solar is available, it starts charging. If solar does not show up, the charger waits.

Solar Window takes priority over Smart Saver and any other schedule. Outside the window, your normal schedule resumes.

How to configure it

• Default: sunrise to sunset, calculated automatically from your Vue monitor's location and time zone. Adjusts with the seasons, no manual updates needed.
• Expert mode: set an absolute window (e.g., 8am to 3pm) if you want to export to the grid during certain hours instead.

The override

When you need to charge immediately, the "Charge at full power" button lets you bypass Solar Window and pull from the grid. It resets automatically when you unplug, so normal Solar Window behavior picks back up for your next session.

Where to find it

Open the Excess Solar screen in the app. Solar Window configuration appears alongside your existing device enrollment list. Available in app version 4.10.0.

It’s super disappointing that we still don’t have OCPP on a premium product

You can get grizzly charger totally for free and actually make money … you could make money with Emporia if they allowed OCPP

Anyone here has any information about OCPP status

Thank you

Don’t trust Amazon or Emporia to fulfill orders in a timely fashion. Amazon says the Vue 3 combo is in stock. Emporia website says out of stock. Amazon says shipped and arriving, then not shipped at all.

So who actually stocks it, Amazon or Emporia? If Amazon, they lie. If fulfilled by Emporia, why don’t they update Amazon’s website? Don’t trust either one. One or both of them suck.

If my unit arrives this week at all, I’ll update. Have had the same conversation with the Emporia chat bot and gave them my order number.

I don’t want support. I want order fullfillment.

I can handle the truth, if either can provide it.

We’ll see.
