This app and driver integration enables seamless energy monitoring for your Emporia Vue devices directly within the Hubitat platform. With features like secure authentication, device discovery, and real-time data retrieval, you can now bring energy insights into your smart home ecosystem.

Key Features:

• Authentication: Token-based authentication with automatic refresh support.
• Device Discovery: Quickly discover and add Emporia devices and their channels.
• Energy Monitoring: Monitor energy usage, percentage, power, and more.
• Customizable Settings: Configure retrieval frequency, energy units, and date formats.
• Debug Logs: View detailed logs to troubleshoot and understand system operations.

Setup Instructions:

1. Add the EmporiaVueIntegration app and the corresponding drivers (EmporiaVueParentDriver and Emporia Circuit Driver) to your Hubitat environment.
2. Install the app and configure your Emporia credentials.
3. Authenticate and discover devices associated with your Emporia account.
4. Set your desired data retrieval frequency and other settings.
5. Save changes and monitor energy data directly from your Hubitat dashboard!

Please note the followings:

1. I am no developer and my code is probably not perfect
2. As of app version 1.0.4 - there is support for multiple Emporia devices

So far great, the only issue I had is the device template for the dashboard had to be changed to power meter for some. Thanks I may get rid of the pyemvue integration I have.

I am testing the use of InfluxDB and Grafana to bring the data as graphs to my dashboard.
This is how my tests results look like for now.

I am using the great comunity InfluxDB Logger app

Just released a fix to the app code. Version 1.0.1 - fix reschedule to the fetchData method when the app is updated. Github link on the first post contain the new version.

WOW - thank you for this. To be clear, this allows Emporia Vue integration without another piece of hardware?? If so, that is beyond awesome, and I'll pull the trigger on installing an Emporia Vue!!!

Yes. Good luck and please let me know how did it go

Just updated the Github repository with app version 1.0.2 that will make sure changed circuits on the Emporia side will be updated (create, update or delete child devices) when the user click 'Create/Update/Delete devices' button in the device discovery page.

Updated the Github repository with app version 1.0.4.
Support for multiple (even nested) EmporiaVue devices
Automatic Device Labeling
Ensures Unique Names in InfluxDB/Grafana if used
Improved Debug Logging & Device Updates

This version ensures better compatibility with InfluxDB, Grafana, and Hubitat Dashboard, making energy monitoring more accurate and intuitive.

This is my Grafana dashboard for now:

Repository is now updated with app version 1.0.5 supporting auto-rescheduling in case the refresh token process ends with failure.
