How hacker friendly is this?
I'm not crazy enough to do anything fancy. But I would like to build some metric system to see the data and usages. If I can some how hack it so that it keep track of which devices uses the Tesla battery the most.

The battery system will just know how much power is currently being used. It will have no way to identify which devices are currently drawing power. For that, you'd need something like this on each outlet: http://www.amazon.com/P3-P4400-Electricity-Usage-Monitor/dp/...
Maybe future smart homes will have the Kill A Watt built-in to electrical outlets for monitoring purposes.
I imagine you will be able to get metrics on current usage, peak usage periods et cetera.
