![]() ![]() ![]() I mainly used it to sense if my water was running and I had a leak somewhere. It's difficult to speak to the accuracy, I haven't compared it. Also works with Google/Alexa, may be a path through there somewhere, although I haven't used mine with Alexa. The only issue with the StreamLabs sensor is someone would have to build code to link to the StreamLabs account and bring it into Hubitat, but given all the other similar type applications out there, I wouldn't think that would be a show-stopper. I'm not familiar with the Flume sensor, may be similar although someone stated it had to be attached to a meter. It is a radar type sensor (ultrasonic?), straps on over an existing water main pipe, works with 3/4" or 1". I have one of these in a rental property. Have you looked at the StreamLabs sensor? I would rather not put in BOTH an expensive traditional meter AND a Flume.Įdit: I'm not seeing this as far enough into our universe even though it's "universal" Not sure what (in our universe) to put downstream of this to interpret what it's capturing. (EDIT: Obviously they HAVE !) Maybe there are competitive units now. Maybe EveryDrop have evolved their product since I last looked. Maybe they'd gotten one too many emails on this! I hadn't gone to your link before posting, now I'll go back and read what their unit can do! but this could be addressed in other ways as outlined in other threads dealing with pulse counting.ĮDIT: ^-whoops,THAT story has changed. Unfortunately EveryDrop had no interest in configuring electronics on it that would handle the pulse counts and speak Zigbee. I think that was: 'must be horizontal' and 'must have x" of straight pipe lead in'.īut I really like this style of meter otherwise and it is accurate enough for exactly what the OP stated. And then there was the requirement of orientation of the meter complicated by the confined space I had to work in. There was also the bit about leaks but I'm not so sure those weren't user error (ie. Well, in the interim I read some bad reviews about the EveryDrop units. I had once thought the EveryDrop unit you linked was the was what I had in mind when I threw my hat into the thread asking to find a way to handle pulse counts in HE. After seeing earlier post (elsewhere) about the sale at Flume I dusted off my long standing interest to find exactly what is asking for in the post above. ![]()
