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.

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.
