Something in my house is sucking a *lot* of energy and I would like to find it and make it stop doing that. Anyone have specific recommendations for multi-circuit power-usage-tracking devices? (I have 13 240V and 18 120V circuits across three panels, suggesting I will probably need three such devices; the most populated panel has 10 120V and 2 240V.)

Other requirements: ideally #homeassistant compatible, not internet based (currently have devices on zwave and non-internet-facing wifi, adding zigbee soon for unrelated reasons), works with normal US split phase power. Assume I am a reasonably competent electrician and am comfortable putting a current transformer around a wire.

@emily sadly theres not a whole lot between the one-shot 15A outlets, and this sort of thing: https://www.span.io/panel

but the this one: https://www.amazon.com/Aeotec-Security-controller-electricity-consumption/dp/B00MBIRF5W might get you part of the way there?

@emily the alternative is to do something like a powerwall or some other whole-house solution, and then watch the numbers while you turn stuff on and off to see when it spikes
