I'm looking for a device that will allow me to see total wattage at the panel with clamps (like the TED), but also allow me to monitor other individual circuits in the panel. Are there any other device with current clamps that will allow me to accomplish this?

ICF, looks nice but not sure I want to pay $11 a month to monitor my usage to save money. Seems like I might pay more than can be saved. Thanks

If you are just looking to monitor devices to ascertain power usage (Volts, Amps, Watts, Hertz, Kilowatt-Hours), this is very popular for less than $20:

You can discontinue the subscription after the initial two year period and what you lose is the graphics interface and "notifications". The data is still available to you.

Check out http://www.welserver.com. They have all sorts of monitoring devices available to monitor home energy use.

Oops, I just looked at their web site. It looks like they don't have power monitoring built in. I know somewhere there is a system, but don't recall the name.
