Alternative to Efergy

I’m seriously irritated with my Efergy device. It spends more time unavailable/offline than it does online. I’m unsure why their service is so poor.

I'm considering using an SDR to read the stuff directly from the CT clamp sensors. I have one lying around but haven't really found a use for it, so maybe this is a good project.

Decoding Efergy Energy Monitor Signals with RTL-SDR

An Efergy energy monitor is a wireless device with an LCD screen that shows how much power your household is using. The device is useful for helping reduce power usage by determining what appliances cause the largest power draw. Nathaniel Elijah has posted on his blog about how he was able to...

If you do figure something out I'd be very interested. It's the completely random nature of the thing being up or down that drives me bonkers. There has to be a better way..
