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 have two Emporia Vue 2s one in each 150a panel, flashed with esphome so they're only reporting locally and it works great. 16 circuits per vue.

I need to know more.

Same, but the Vue 1.

Works very well by my panel looks a fuckin' mess because of it!

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.

Can you sum the data or do you have to run it as 2 different systems?

[-] dmtalon@infosec.pub 2 points 7 months ago

I add them each as their own entities but they are automatically totalled after that. You can see in my image left and right main. That's each Emporia
