refoss or emporia vue 3 ?

[granite berry]

it's in te title.

The emporia vue 3 needs to be flashed to display real time consumption in HA, which is not practical... there's a need to buy a BSD frame, a usb to tlt...

on the other hand, the refoss seem to allow live monitoring in HA, out of the box, am I right ? Butit's cloud based....

They are similarly priced, so what would you buy ? which one is better and is there eventually a way to buy a pre-flashed emporia vue 3 somewhere at a good price making it plug and play, out of the cloud ?

Thanks !

oh, I read that since latest HA update :

it looks like it does 100% local polling, enabling real time analysis !

OK, as these were discounted on aliexpress refoss official store on aliexpress, I've bought them (3 EU models, 18 claws in total)

looks like a deal, I will probably come back here to get some install tips 😉

I mean it's not a lot. you literally need a usb and bsd frame and that's it. I'm plannong on getting one my self and 3D printing the frame but buying the leads

I’ve ordered the refoss as they are suited for EU panels and where damn cheap on aliexpress. But yeah, a bsd frame would be nice to have I guess to flash my esp devices
