Will this configuration work?

Our house has the meter on the outside which feeds two external 200A main breaker boxes.  Each box then feeds into an interior breaker box.   There are 28 circuits in each box, while not all are worth monitoring, there are at least 22 in each one that I would want to individually monitor.  Is it possible to install a main Vue Gen 2 and a nested one under it in each panel, four in total?  I know it may not be the most straight forward thing to watch in the app, but getting a better understanding of what is being drawn by the circuits in the house is my goal.

Hi, here’s some insight to help:

If the two mains panels are two independent service panels, you can have two Emporia Gen 2 Vue Energy Monitors monitors in each, but they will be separated in the Emporia App. You can nest the second one into each panel used to cover more circuits.

• Monitor in the Panel 1 and monitor in the subpanel 1 = can nest
• Monitor in the Panel 2 and monitor in the subpanel 2 = can nest
• Monitors in Panel 1 and Panel 2 – if they are independent services, not sharing the same mains, they cannot be nested.

Exactly what I was looking to confirm.  Panel 1 and 2 do not share the same mains.  I’m fine with separate in the App as I can sum them together outside to make sure it closely matches the electric bill.  Thanks!
