Embarking on the journey of home energy management is an exciting step towards sustainability and cost-efficiency. Understanding how your Vue: Gen 3 home energy monitor operates under various conditions is key to maximizing its benefit. This article aims to shed light on how the Vue: Gen 3 performs when it encounters internet or network interruptions, ensuring you're well-informed about its offline behavior.

Should your home experience a temporary network or internet disruption lasting less than ~15 minutes, the Vue: Gen 3 is adept at handling such situations with ease. Equipped with sufficient on-device memory, the monitor is capable of storing all measurement data during this period. Once the network connection is restored, it seamlessly uploads the accumulated data, ensuring no loss of information and continuous monitoring of your energy usage.

In the event of longer network interruptions, exceeding ~15 minutes, the Vue: Gen 3 will attempt to continue its vigilant monitoring of your energy consumption. Due to internal memory constraints, it may not retain every piece of measurement data during an extended outage - however - it will try its best to track your cumulative energy usage throughout the disruption. IMPORTANT! While offline, it is possible that the device may "lose track" of your energy measurements. Offline measurements are not guaranteed to be accurate or available once a connection is resumed. Upon re-establishing a network connection, the device will attempt to calculate the total energy consumed during the outage by comparing the cumulative measurements taken before and after the disruption. It then averages this total over the outage duration, providing a consistent reading for seconds, minutes, and possibly hourly intervals.

For optimal performance and the most accurate energy monitoring, we require maintaining a consistent and stable WiFi or internet connection for your Vue: Gen 3 monitor. This ensures real-time data tracking and the highest level of precision in managing your home's energy use. Offline measurements are not guaranteed to be accurate as compared to online functionality.

We are continually exploring ways to enhance the Vue monitor's capabilities, including the potential for offline data access in future models. While this feature is still under consideration for future development, we are committed to innovating and improving our products to meet your energy management needs.

At the core of our mission is the commitment to assist you in managing your energy more effectively.
