Many of us use Emporia Vue. Low price vs. features is probably the best value. Some on the forum don't like the fact it is cloud based and doesn't keep 1 second data long enough. This is what I use with 10 CT's. Accuracy is good.
IoTaWatt is highly recommended also, costs more but affords more privacy and has better data collection per others on the forum.
The Energy Detective (TED) is a brand I've used previously and liked but their new 2.0 version is not out yet and the older models are all discontinued.
Brueltech is another lesser known brand. Still have one of their OLD devices, still works. Just 2 channels though.
Sense is NOT recommended as many have found it doesn't do a good job of "learning" how to distinguish your branch circuit loads simply by their electrical signature.
I wouldn't say TED is total junk but it did have some issues initially with Power Line Communication until filters were added. Accuracy was acceptable but not great. Worked well for several years. What I liked about TED was the user interface, in particular the gauges.TED is total junk. I owned there product and nothing but issues. I don't see them making anything better in there next version.
You left one out that is opensource.
It doesn't record 1 second data at all unless you are actively watching it in the app. It gives you a 1 second resolution file with the readings repeated 60 times to kind of fake it. They went to a lot of work to make it look like you get 1 second data and then not give it to you generally. All that to save about 200 K bytes of storage per user, which is trivial these days.Many of us use Emporia Vue. Low price vs. features is probably the best value.

Their Smart Plugs are pretty cool too. My fridge isn't the only thing on its circuit, so I have it plugged into a Smart Plug so I can see its actual usage. I noticed my Laundry Room wasn't really interesting to watch at the circuit level [it's just the washing machine + overhead light], so I plugged the washing machine into a Smart Plug and moved the CT to monitor a different circuit.This power monitoring stuff is cool.
I have data, usually from the day before.Who's your power company? I just found out home assistant has an integration called opower which can login to some electric companies and pull data right from the meter. It's 2 day old data though which kinda sucks but free. I have 2 houses in WV under Appalachian Power and pulling this. I have 2 offices in OH with AEP and it doesn't work, so guess it doesn't like business accts. My main homes a coop and doesn't work.
I have sense on one of my houses and it's pretty cool guessing the devices based on power. All my houses have multiple panels so I can only monitor part with a meter unless I want to buy multiple.
If my Victron energy meter ever gets delivered I'll be able to use my RV to monitor one of my main house panels. I setup a solaredge inverter to monitor the other and tossed a few panels on the grass to test with.
This was my observation as well.Just using the x2 multiplier gave inaccurate results.
Keep an eye in that fault count, it shouldn’t go up now that it has “learned”.EasyStart installed.
If you only ever plan to use the generator with your house, the N-G bond in the house is the only one you should have.Quick question: The Westinghouse genset manual says the genset comes with a neutral ground bond. Shows how to disconnect it. I assume since this is a backup genset for my house that I should disconnect the neutral bond?
