Support for Gas Meter?



  • Hello Guys,

    I would like to ask if anyone managed to make Gas Meter sketch using MySensors? As I Can see there is no official support for S_GAS and V_M3, however I would like to ask, maybe someone has workaround for it? Right now I am using MySensor (door sketch, reed attached near GAS meter magnet) and in Domoticz (software) I have virtual switch that triggers script to update the counter value when door switch is triggered ON. It is working, but there is a big disadvantage, it is spamming a lot of logs and my SD card will not be in good shape in close future, so I am looking for other solution. Any advices?

    Thanks
    Maciek

    Hi!

    Is it a gas meter with a magnet sensor? If so you could just use the rain sketch, either http://www.mysensors.org/build/rain or i made my own (http://forum.mysensors.org/topic/1950/domotiocz-rain-gauge) thats some lighter (and based on a reed switch/tipping bucket magnet. You have to reconfig it so each magnet trigger is equal your gas volume.

    This is supported in the last beta atleast:

    S_GAS
    V_FLOW:
    Flow of water/gas in meter (for now send as a percentage sensor)

    V_VOLUME:
    Water or Gas Volume



  • Hello everyone 😉

    I just updated my Ethernet W5100 Gateway to beta 1.6.0 and I modified "WaterPulseSensor" to support V_GAS - present(CHILD_ID, S_GAS) and it is working... 🙂 Right now I am testing it on my desk but I will try this weekend to attach magnet sensor to my gas meter 😉

    See yaaa 😉
