My brother has the owl intuition PV monitor but they are now charging a subscription.
Are there any other monitors, perhaps even better, that have no subs?
Thanks0 -

I've just picked up a eco-eye from amazon, and then an energyhive from ebay... They will connect together.
I was going to buy an owl, but negative comments about the subscription stopped me.
Otherwise there is Efergy or Smappe. If you want to go all out then there is the open energy monitor emonpi.
Sadly a lot of the energy monitor companies have gone bust.2.88 kWp System, SE Facing, 30 Degree Pitch, 12 x 240W Conergy Panels, Samil Solar River Inverter, Havant, Hampshire. Installed July 2012, acquired by me on purchase of house in August 20170 -

Me thinks too many 'Smarts' around which ain't that smart! I don't find it a problem reading my G & E meters once a month, guess I am used to reading my Gen Meter every day; I will resist the 'Not so Smart' to the bitter end.

Sadly my gen meter is in the loft, which is why I monitor my generation via a computer up there with an RS232 connection directly to the inverter. I've proven its accuracy by a few daily readings, and upload that to PVOutput. So this means I only read the gen meter to supply EON with fit readings
The other 2 I view as more of a tool to see how much power I am using compared to generation so I can maximise the use of my generated energy (a bit like your Wattson).2.88 kWp System, SE Facing, 30 Degree Pitch, 12 x 240W Conergy Panels, Samil Solar River Inverter, Havant, Hampshire.
