The Emporia Smart Plug is an energy-auditing node featuring a high-frequency data sampling architecture. Technical specifications indicate the use of a dedicated energy metering chipset providing ±2% accuracy for power telemetry. The internal 15A relay is designed to manage resistive loads such as dehumidifiers or space heaters, provided environmental temperatures remain within specified limits.
The device is engineered for integration with the Emporia Vue ecosystem, utilizing proprietary firmware to support high-granularity energy dashboards. Unlike generic white-label hardware, this unit prioritizes data precision and is locked to Emporia’s servers for advanced analytics. The chassis dimensions are optimized for high-density deployment on standard duplex wall plates without obstructing adjacent outlets.
Operational data shows the unit is strictly limited to 2.4GHz Wi-Fi bands. Initial configuration may require temporary adjustment of router band-steering settings to ensure a stable handshake. The device does not provide a native local API, necessitating a cloud connection for the visualization of historical energy data.
- Metering precision: ±2% accuracy for real-time wattage.
- Load rating: 15A resistive.
- Ecosystem: Emporia Vue integrated firmware.
For users requiring a device with local control capabilities and Home Assistant compatibility, the Kasa KP115 provides a local polling protocol that Emporia lacks.
This unit is a specialized component of the energy monitoring smart plugs category.
