Purchase Advice Linux-Friendly Device to Read from a Smart Power Meter?

About 15 years ago, I bought a Rainforest Autmation RAVEn to pull data from my smart meter. Each time I've moved homes, the software that I wrote to use it has required some fiddling to get working with the new electricity provider. Given that this is now ancient tech--long unsupported by Rainforest--I am looking for a more recent/modern option for pulling data from a smart meter.

Obviously, I want it to work on linux and not require any cloud nonsense to function. Any ideas? If it matters, the meter is on SoCal Edison.

At least a starting point? I'm looking now too!

Thanks!

SCE has a way to share the data with third parties, you could get your data from there. that goes through the cloud nonsense though so perhaps not what you want
