At Emporia Energy, we store and manage your smart home energy measurement data in the cloud, ensuring accessibility and reliability. Below is the data retention policy for device measurements:
1-second interval data: Retained for 3 hours.
1-minute interval data: Retained for 7 days.
15-minute interval data: Retained for 1 year (available only via data export).
1-hour, daily, and aggregated data: Stored for the lifetime of the device.
These retention policies help balance detailed data availability with storage efficiency while ensuring long-term trends and usage remain accessible.
What about local data?
Emporia devices are designed to be cloud-based, so their local data retention is fairly limited. See Offline Behavior for more details of how it works in offline situations when not connected to the Emporia cloud.
How to export data?
You're able to export your data via CSV format on-demand from within the Emporia Energy app. At this moment we do not have an official programmatic API available for cloud data.
