The hall effect device is just a replacement for a shunt, although its output voltage is different so it can't be directly substituted. Amp meters that work with a shunt (or the hall effect device) are actually volt meters & measure the voltage produced across the shunt or by the hall effect device.
A hall effect device can be used as a simple amp meter, or, combined with a voltage measurement, as a watt or system meter of the type in the original post. I do wish the manufacturers of these system monitors would design their products to work with hall effect sensors since the installation is so much easier, but, as far as I know, all are designed around shunts.
