The Emporia app is the platform for automating your home energy. Set it up once, let it run, and watch the savings show up in your monthly bill.
With the Emporia app, you can monitor your home's energy use in real time, schedule devices to run when energy is cheapest, route surplus solar to your enrolled devices, and see your savings at a glance.
What You Can Automate
EV Charging — Charge during off-peak hours automatically, or wait for available solar before pulling from the grid
Excess Solar — Route surplus solar to your enrolled devices instead of exporting it back to the grid
Smart Plugs — Schedule appliances to run when energy is cheapest, or sync them to solar production
Thermostats — Pre-cool or pre-heat your home during off-peak hours so you stay comfortable without paying peak rates
Home Battery — Store cheap energy and discharge during expensive peak periods
Peak Demand Management — Stay under your utility's demand thresholds automatically to avoid demand charges
Customers typically save 10–20% through automated demand management alone. With a home battery, that rises to 30–50%.
Navigating the App
The app is organized around five screens accessible from the bottom navigation bar.
Home — Your dashboard. See your energy summary, top circuits, savings widget, and quick controls for your devices. Customize which widgets appear by tapping the filter icon at the top of the screen.
Devices — Your device inventory. Tap any device to see detailed energy data, real-time power consumption, and direct controls.
Usage — Energy data over time. Filter by Live, Past, or any custom date range. Drill from yearly down to per-minute. Switch between kW, kWh, cost, or carbon footprint.
