Funny seeing this link just after watching Matthias’ video on his Emporia install[0] Several comments on that video say it can be Tasmotized. It runs on an ESP32. Amazon’s got them for $165, and that’s with 16 circuits plus the main. [0] https://youtu.be/siJZYFCmU68 https://youtu.be/siJZYFCmU68

Yeah it's a steal for that price

I saw the same video, and had the same thoughts. I saw a comment mentioning flashing the Emporia with ESPHOME, of which I am a great fan. What I really like about that option is you can push all the logic to the "edge" device with ease (including hosting a webserver), or just merely expose the data and use e.g homeassistant to manage it. I'm sure you could probably also have it post the data directly to clickhouse if you want. All this to say esphome is really great and I love its flexibility.

I was planning to build something similar with esp32 until i found the emporia. It's a bit of a hassle to install (don't think anything can be done about that) and I didn't really like the official ui, but it works great with home assistant / esphome.

Not Tasmotized--ESPHome! Instructions are at https://gist.github.com/flaviut/93a1212c7b165c7674693a45ad52c512 https://gist.github.com/flaviut/93a1212c7b165c7674693a45ad52..., and I'm around in the discussion forums at https://github.com/emporia-vue-local/esphome/discussions 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 don’t know why but I was using “tasmotized” to mean ESPHome. I run both of them on various devices. Weird mix-up to make on my part :) Thanks for the links! I think I might pull the trigger on one of these
