    Model: EAGLE 3

    What differs
    The US-store EAGLE 3 gateway with Ethernet and WiFi, Zigbee meter link and 10-device smart-home hub.
    Best for
    Buyers whose utility supports the Zigbee smart-meter link.

Purchase links appear where the exact offer is verified. Confirm the named model, quantity and accessories before ordering.

Watch out

  • Check that your utility appears in Rainforest's supported-utilities list before buying; the meter must be provisioned.
  • The older EAGLE-200 and the original EAGLE are different, older gateways.
  • Rainforest warns against marketplace resellers, whose units may not be activatable.

Why people pick it

  • Self-installs in minutes: it reads the utility smart meter wirelessly, so there is no panel work and no electrician
  • Works over Ethernet as well as WiFi, which the site's guides call out as more reliable than WiFi-only monitors
  • Doubles as a Zigbee 3.0 smart-home hub for up to 10 devices, with schedules in the Rainge app
  • Displays live whole-home demand, cost and net-metered solar flow in the app, per Rainforest's product pages

Know before you buy

  • Only works where your utility supports it: the meter must be provisioned by the utility before the EAGLE 3 can read it
  • No circuit-level detail: it reports whole-home usage only, unlike CT-clamp panel monitors
  • Depends on the Rainforest Cloud and Rainge app for the phone experience; the maker provides local API documentation for EAGLE but points developers to it as best-effort
  • Rainforest warns to use only the included 5 V power adapter, and that third-party-marketplace units may not be activatable
