CyberLogix Innovations Emporia Software Plugin for HS4

Emporia

Signs in to your Emporia account and turns every device into a HomeSeer device: live watts on each named circuit, plug control, voltage, current, energy and cost per circuit. Then it adds what Emporia does not — the demand charge, which rate period you are in, utility holidays, which circuit set your peak, and appliance detection that turns a circuit into a Running/Off sensor. All of it as HomeSeer values, so events can act on your electricity the way they act on anything else.

Main Features

• Live per-circuit watts for every named CT, plus whole-panel Main and unmetered Balance
• Measured current per circuit and line voltage per device
• On/off control for Emporia smart plugs, with live draw
• Energy and cost per device and per circuit, for today and the billing cycle
• Appliance detection: give a circuit two thresholds and it publishes Running or Off, so 'tell me when the laundry is done' is one event
• Demand-charge tracking — the peak hour, what it will cost, and which circuit was drawing when it was set
• Rate period, utility holiday and current rate as devices your events can trigger on
• A rate-plan editor: start from the plan Emporia already has you on, or describe any tariff — periods, seasons, holidays, demand
• Whole Home status in one word: Normal, High usage, Peak demand, Exporting or Offline
• Monitored coverage, largest load now, biggest consumer today, today against yesterday at the same hour
• Projected usage and cost for the billing cycle
• Solar: production, grid import and export, self-consumption, and Excess Solar for soaking up what you would otherwise send back
• EV charger control including charge current as a slider, so a car can charge slowly through peak instead of not at all
• Connected vehicle battery, range, charging state and time to full, asked for rarely so it does not keep the car awake
• Per-circuit history charts, sortable circuits, two-way renaming
