esphome VS emoncms

It can even be converted to run a FOSS software stack with no cloud dependencies - https://github.com/emporia-vue-local/esphome

Thanks for mentioning Emporia Vue, it looks like you can flash it with ESP Home for cloud-free operation which could be a nice solution.

Here's what I use for my Vue: https://github.com/emporia-vue-local/esphome

Take a look at this repo to see how it's done for the custom component used by Emporia Vue: https://github.com/emporia-vue-local/esphome

I think some people have flashed their emporia devices with custom firmware to get data out into ESPhome. https://github.com/emporia-vue-local/esphome

Not Tasmotized--ESPHome!

Instructions are at https://gist.github.com/flaviut/93a1212c7b165c7674693a45ad52..., and I'm around in the discussion forums at https://github.com/emporia-vue-local/esphome/discussions to help out with getting this set up.

And I agree--it's really a great deal, and it's the only one of these products that comes with UL listing and can run open-source firmware.

I think I have seen others do this with some smaller dedicated timer thermocouple controllers.. but I wanted to be able to write software to do more.. like email me start/stop emails.. and the openenergy monitor emonpi gives access to emoncms.org which lets me see the kiln temps 24 hours a day from anywhere in the world.. and they have an iphone app that you can use to see the data.. so all I had to do was figure out how to publish the data to their service.. and then write a if then loop python script to check for the kiln temp at a time.. if low..turn kiln on.. if high.. turn it off.... I have dreams of a cleaner simpler script.. but no time to get it done.

Take a look at CircuitSetup.us for their EmonESP whole-house energy monitor. I got their single phase with two current transformers several months ago and it has worked perfectly. It has a web page, sends out MQTT messages and can simultaneously send out emoncms data (see emoncms.org ).
