I have tested in principle the monitoring of each individual ring main from the consumer unit using a 1-DIN meter with pulse output. The pulse is then fed into an Idratek ODI where the Cortex can be configured to count pulses and display KWh usage.
I want to move this to a permanent solution which will require a new CU. I am thinking about the following 2 - Bank Split load unit from Crabtree:

Anyone found a similar solution? I guess I will need to replace all the MCB's in the existing CU for new Crabtree units?
I originally tested the principle with a unit from Meter Manager:

However, I found another supplier offering similar units and who would offer a sizable discount on purchases of 10+ units:
