I installed an Emporia Vue2 flashed with ESPHome in my home breaker box and put CT clamps on all my circuits which makes installing this integration easy.
This integration is pretty well polished and was much more polished than my simple crossing trigger I had before.
Just started using it so it hasn't learned any cycles yet.
Was it easy to flash? I've already got mine installed but have been interested in flashing it for esphome instead.
I didn't know about this integration and have just been using an x appliance has been using power for x amount of time trigger.
Connecting the wires is a little finicky at times, but I used a pogo pin clamp which had the right pitch size to make it easy to connect and avoid soldering. Once you get it on ESPhome the first time, you can keep OTA updating new firmware
This walks through what I did
Neat, thanks!!
