I'm looking for a simple watt meter where I can connect both lines of my split phase and get a reading of how many watts and amps are flowing through.
I've seen something similar for solar systems but it's only one phase.

What do you want to meter? Your whole house, some subset of loads, an individual load?– ThreePhaseEelDec 26, 2019 at 0:50

I know of Sense, Curb, EKM, and Smappee. I'm just looking for something simpler for the whole house.– RickDec 26, 2019 at 0:58

Is your utility kWh meter a "smart meter" (with a LCD/digital display) or an old-style electromechanical meter (with dials)?– ThreePhaseEelDec 26, 2019 at 1:06

Take a look at a system called TED (The Energy Detective), it can be used to monitor the whole house or individual circuits, or both and gives you a simple interface either stand-alone or to your smart phone or tablet.
