Shelly relays for energy monitoring (forum.uncomfortable.business)

I'm wanting to add a bunch of energy monitoring stuff so I can both track costs, and maybe implement automation to turn stuff on and off based on power costs and timing.

I'm using some TPlink based plugs right now which are like, fine, but I'm wanting to add something like 6 to 10 more monitoring devices/relays.

Anyone have experience with a bunch of shelly devices and if there's any weird behavior I should be aware of?

Assume I have good enough wifi to handle adding another 10 devices to it, but beyond that any gotchas?

Oh sorry; my goal here was for individual metering. I've got an Enphase solar system, so the Envoy is already doing whole-house monitoring.

I'd like to be able to identify and ultimately be able to lower my load to stay under what the solar panels are generating, but that needs data I mostly don't have, and specific equipment to actually turn things on and off.
