Hi everyone, I’ve been diving into the world of energy monitoring and custom logic integration in my smart home setup, and I wanted to share some of my experiences and questions with the community.
I recently came across the Emporia Vue Energy Monitor, which offers real-time power usage tracking for up to 16 circuits. It’s a WiFi setup, and I’m curious if anyone has successfully integrated it with Hubitat. I’ve heard about the vuegraf project on GitHub, which allows pulling metrics from the Vue service into InfluxDB and Grafana. It sounds promising, but I’m not sure if it’s the best solution out there. Has anyone tried this or have alternative recommendations?
On another note, I’ve been exploring Custom Logic for Homey, which seems like a powerful tool for creating advanced flows. The ability to perform calculations, store temporary values, and even display images from URLs is impressive. I’m particularly interested in how others are using this app to streamline their smart home routines. For example, I’d love to hear about creative ways people are using the temporary-image action card or the calculate-float feature in their daily lives.
Lastly, I’ve been experimenting with setting up cameras without a permanent Sync module connection. My idea is to use them offline and only check the footage when necessary. I’d love to know if anyone has successfully implemented a similar setup or has tips for ensuring reliable performance without constant connectivity.
If anyone has insights, experiences, or recommendations on these topics, I’d be thrilled to hear from you! Let’s keep the discussion flowing and continue learning from each other’s smart home journeys.
Cheers,
