I finally got this to work. Unlike what the description here says, this is how to update the value:
In Home Assistant, go to Developer->Service->YAML mode:
service: text.set_value
data:
value: "967067"
target:
entity_id: text.water_meter_100_2
(change 967067 with the value you want to add to the current counter)
The service "notify.mysensors" seems to be deprecated by Home Assistant.
bravo and good explanation
good to show that Arduino "8bits" and MySensors can do things simply, without gas factory
an extensible basis for further input/output
(door contact - relay control ...etc )
Thanks
I mean the ESP framework version, selected by the board version
