I have one of those very expensive Swiss things. It is called yoctopuce.
http://www.yoctopuce.com/

It has a web interface (as well as many other interfaces) but is not Cloud
based. The web interface
works through a local web server running on your PC. I use Linux, but I
think it works with Windows
and Mac too.

They have various different sensors. I have a current sensor. They also do
a Watt sensor.

Priced to make your eyes water though.
