Measure-First Kit: portable power station + metering smart plugs
Most people size backup power by guessing. This kit starts with a measurement: the four smart plugs show in the Emporia app how much each device actually uses, and the power station covers the devices you choose for the hours your numbers allow.

How to use it
- Measure for a few daysPlug the refrigerator, the router, a fan or your work equipment into a smart plug each and read their watts and daily energy in the Emporia app. Each plug carries up to 10 A continuously.
- Add up loads and hoursWith the real numbers, the battery backup calculator shows what the station can keep on and for how long.
- Plug in what mattersDuring an outage, connect the devices you chose to the power station. Runtime depends on your loads and hours.

How long will the station run my devices?
It depends on what you connect and for how many hours. That is what the plugs are for: measure first, then check your numbers in the calculator.
Do the smart plugs work during an outage?
They measure and report through your 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi and the internet. Use them before the outage to learn your loads; the power station does not need them to work.
Why two shipments and two payments?
Anker SOLIX and Emporia each ship their equipment directly, so the cart shows two shipments and checkout charges each one separately. Standard shipping is free for eligible US addresses.
Can I buy the pieces separately?
Yes. The kit price is the sum of the current prices of its equipment; each piece is also sold on its own page.
