Whole home energy monitor (infosec.pub)

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 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.

Thanks for the tip! Installed a Flukso meter several years ago, but it looks like the project is eol.

Always great to have an alternative option.
