That lumber you have loaded on the truck looks great! Did you have to dig through every pile or were they all in pretty decent shape?
Great Q... Menards isn't known for having great lumber honestly... but I went in really late to buy this stuff and the guy running the yard was bored. He brought a forklift and helped hand select boards. I was pretty happy with what I got too!

Right, but it would still need to then algorithm out each device behind a breaker, correct?
No. There is an individual current transformer for each circuit. You know what input 1 is because you physically put it there.

Unless you’re talking about figuring out which device is which on a shared circuit. Example: microwave and coffee maker use the same outlet, you would only know the load on the common circuit, not the individual devices.

Emporia makes a smart plug that monitors power as well to solve that problem.
