I have been looking into battery systems and that of course has me looking into how much power we consume daily. Has anyone tried any of the energy monitoring products like the Shelly EM?

This is a system that we have in our newell and bus. It's real time and shows history.

I ordered the 16 system and hope to get it next week when we are down in Boca Chicka TX watching SpaceX try to blow up a giant rocket :-)
