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.
Note: Both the Vue: Gen 2 and Vue: Gen 1 have similar offline behaviors when not connected to your network.
Short-Term Network Interruptions (Under ~15 Minutes)
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.
Extended Network Interruptions (Over ~15 Minutes)
Important: Data Loss During Extended Network Outages
If your Vue: Gen 3 device is offline for more than 15 minutes, it will not capture or store your energy measurements during that period.
When the device comes back online, it will resume reporting new data. However, there will be a permanent gap in your energy measurement history for the entire time it was offline.
Connectivity for Optimal Performance
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 as accurate as online functionality.
Future Enhancements
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.
