Yes, I have two and they have been working very well. Support at Emporia has been very responsive as well. They are out of Colorado.
The 2 I have are before they received UL listing but the quality is decent. I have had one for a little over a year, bought the second one about 4 months ago. Still waiting for my R1S but use it to charge the Model S with an adapter.

I installed a 50Amp UL version back in June 2022 and it works great, including the app.
It is definitely not as polished as the 2 ChargePoint chargers I have used/installed previously.
For example, it doesn't come with knock outs in the back in case you want to flush mount it with the wire entering the box in the back. I ended up drilling a hole in the plastic to accommodate my install. Also, the cover is unnecessarily hard to take off with a bunch of screws only accessible from the back, so you really need access all around the box and can't mount it close to a wall. I suspect that's for safety, but Chargepoint has a more elegant solution by providing 2 separate covers that are easily removable from the front before you get to the wiring.
I only got the Emporia because of the much lower price ($449 vs. $800) and the fact that the company is in Colorado where I live.
So, I am happy with the device (haven't used their service) and would recommend it.

I keep hearing “emporia” lately. Why? I didn’t see any compelling reason to choose them?
Thanks for the info. Just ordered one.

I have had their Level 2 UL unit for the last 4 months, charging at 48amps it been great for the money, ($450) and the app is excellent in its function, data feedback and capabilities. Customer Service with Emporia has also been top notch!

Please provide an update once you install the wall box, I was looking at that one as well. Thanks
Will do. It came in the mail yesterday. Looks perfect. I was planning to do my own install but we may be having a new service out in as we are doing some remodeling. Not sure what my schedule is now for this.
