What is the best, money is no factor solution for monitoring home energy. The goal is no cloud. I was using a zwave solution however it keeps falling off the network and now I cant get it back on. Looking to upgrade.
Edit: I live in the states.
I just got a 6 channel from Circuit Setup and it’s pretty great. I still want to do some tweaking to make sure it’s calibrated but so far so good. I’m waiting for some smaller current transformers to come back in stock.
Monitoring the meter itself with an espcam should be the way to go. Where you located? :)
I picked up a couple of these recently for the wrong purpose (wanted to attach to standard power plug not line voltage), and am struggling to figure out how to do the line/neutral setup on my box.
I use an Emporia Vue device, it uses an ESP32 internally and you can find instructions on how to flash it with esphome code onto it. No cloud dependency, just wifi.
You can get various kits for one/two/three phase mains, and monitor up to 16 individual circuits via passive current clamps.
