DIY home energy monitor?

Has anyone here looked into creating a DIY home energy monitor? Prices for things like the T.E.D. are in the triple digits, and from my involvement in the EV space, I've learned magnetic current sensors can be had for $10.

For those of us who don't care about fancy internet connected features, How difficult would it be for the community to come up with a device that multiplies measured current by measured wall voltage to give a wattage value for the whole house?
