Integrating Residential Appliance Wattage into VRM Dashboard

Hello,

I have upgraded from 2 Multiplus II 48v/5000kva inverters to 4 inverters in 120v split phase. L1 has a Master and a Slave so does L2 have a Master and a Slave. I have a 450/200A solar charger included with a Cerbo GX and tablet. I would like to integrate all of my appliance wattage usage per each appliance into the VRM dashboard so I can trend the data. Is there a means of accomplishing this either with a Victron add-on or a third-party add-on to each appliance?

For each appliance? I would use a smart plug in the wall. Various options all wifi enabled. That would allow you to pull the data from node red or the like. It won't put them into VRM but you can create a custom dash that is accessible via VRM. I do this with smart timers etc for heatpumps, geysers.
