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.

OP, it's not 'money is no object' because it's actually pretty cheap, but it's actually very easy to flash and install, so, if I were to do it again, I'd probably choose the same hardware since it went pretty smoothly.
