Configuration for multiple Vues in one panel?

[Aston77]

I have a 30-slot panel so I had to buy two Vues to get individual readings on all of the breakers.

That being said I am currently only running the 200amp CT clamps (connected to Phase A/B) on one of the meters and I've commented out a few of the unused 50amp circuits.

1.) Do I need to connect and calibrate the 200amp CT clamps for both Vue or can I get away with one set?

2.) If I only need one set of 200amp CTs is there any part of the phase code on the secondary Vue that I could comment out to avoid creating readings for the 200amp CTs that weren't actually connected?

Do I need to connect and calibrate the 200amp CT clamps for both Vue or can I get away with one set?

One set is fine.

If I only need one set of 200amp CTs is there any part of the phase code on the secondary Vue that I could comment out

Yup, the big clamps are configured the same way as the small clamps.

Just delete/comment the entries:

      - phase_id: phase_a
        input: "A"  # Verify the CT going to this device input also matches the phase/leg
        power:
          name: "Phase A Power"
          id: phase_a_power
          device_class: power
          filters: [*moving_avg, *pos]

As well as any reference to those entries in the file (i.e. "Total Power", etc).

I've been using this setup since our original discussion and have had a sneaking suspicion, I've only recently had time to look further into, that the total individual circuit reported values weren't matching the total usage being registered on the main CTs.

I've refactored the previous version of my config to match the more modern HA format you've moved to but I think I still have some error in the sensor section.

Do you happen to see anything I might have formatted incorrectly that could cause this issue?

[flaviut]

Config looks reasonable. Could you have an unbalanced load on one of the two-phase circuits? Maybe the Shop?

[Aston77]

Sorry for the long delay in response.

After you mentioned an unbalanced load I double-checked my circuits and split my HVAC circuit into separate CTs instead of doubling one leg just in case the system ran some aspect on 120V (FWIW - The shop is inherently unbalanced and has separate CTs "Shop A" & "Shop B")

But I got to thinking about it and the thing about having 2x Vues on the same panel is only one has the Main CTs actually connected to it which made me wonder how/where the second Vue is getting it's reference values from. Should the second Vue actually be referencing the Main CT values being measured one the primary Vue?

[flaviut]

Every single current sensor is independent. I'm not sure what you mean by "reference values", but there is no problem with having the main current clamps disconnected.

Maybe if you're doing a balance power calculation (overall minus each individual clamp), but you should have enough clamps to avoid that if you're using multiple.

[Aston77]

I am going to post this here for anyone else that comes along looking to run a similar configuration.

Setup:

emporiavue1 (main module w/ 200amp CT clamps connected)
emporiavue2 (secondary module no 200amp CT clamps connected)

Notes:

1. This is my specific breaker configuration so expect to tailor your breaker circuit settings as you would typically be expected to during setup.

2. I had to adjust the phase voltage calibration values independently for both Vue modules (based on multimeter verification of my leg voltages while I had the logs running for both modules on my computer). The closest I was able to get was 0.1v (~0.08%) variance between the two modules which from a practical standpoint is more than close enough for me.

If you don't know how to check the voltages of your panel and individual phase/legs with a multimeter you can watch this

[copekyle]

@Aston77 I've got a similar setup to yours except that my main panel has 36 circuits to monitor. Any possibility you're in the US and you're looking to get rid of the 200 amp sensors you did not use? I could complete my system with them. (16(50a) +16(50a) + 4 (200A) + 2(200A mains))

[den-mac]

I'm trying to do this exact thing - two Vue2 units with one with mains CTs and one without. When I try to comment out the same items listed here, I get this error:

*** [/data/emporiavue2-b/.pioenvs/emporiavue2-b/src/esphome/components/template/sensor/template_sensor.o] Source `src/esphome/components/template/sensor/template_sensor.cpp' not found, needed by target `/data/emporiavue2-b/.pioenvs/emporiavue2-b/src/esphome/components/template/sensor/template_sensor.o'.

[flaviut]

have you tried clearing the build cache?

[den-mac]

Thank you! I didn't follow my own advice from the instructions I wrote yesterday... clearing the build cache allowed it to build finally.

Now on to figure out why some of the sensors are not reading any data (when they were back with the old firmware)....

Thanks again!
