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.

Yes this is the one I have.

Yes. It generates a lot of traffic. Once you get it reporting reliably, I struggle to see the benefit of a more expensive solution unless you want more channels.

Channels would be nice. Its just annoying at this point to have to keep resetting it. Makes the logs useless.

I haven't had to reset mine in 4 years. I would get another radio and move it to its own network.
