Local Only Water Meter?
Local Only Water Meter?
I tried my hand at rigging a proximity sensor to the water meter in my house. Sadly it doesn’t have the spinning magnet for the sensor to pick up.
I looked into other options for pulling data from the meter, but for each method, my very antiquated meter had a complication that would prevent it from working.
TLDR: Any recommendations for a home water meter that’s local and integrates well with home assistant?
I’m going to check with my water company first, but likely will remove the old meter and replumb a new “smart” meter and an automated shut off valve into the water supply. I believe the current meter is leftover from before the utility added new meters further upstream, so I’d rather get rid of the rusty piece of junk anyway.
You're viewing a single thread.
If you are using zigbee you should check Sinope Sedna Walter valve with the optional water flow sensor. It is supported in zha using quirks from claudegel on github.
Just make sure you select the ZigBee one since their WiFi one need their proprietary hub to work.
That's a pretty neat bit of kit. If they did it in metric sizes, I'd be tempted.
