I have a Flume device and plan to use Flume in conjunction with a water shutoff. As I look at the Flume Home Assistant inputs, i see the following:
The two “devices” have always showed “ON”. Regardless of current status what’s going on with the Flume, these two are always “ON”. I just figured they were a status that Flume was attempting to always detect High Flow/Home Leaks.
Earlier today, I received an email from Flume indicating a possible leak — water was running for 2 hrs at 0.05 gpm. When I went back through the logs of these two “devices”, they never changed from the “ON” status. My question is whether I am missing some input where Home Assistant reads that a leak is detected? The Flume meter clearly reported a leak; however, Home Assistant indicated nothing of the sort.
Looks like it’s the same for me - I had 0.5gpm running for 2h and only received the message from Flume, no change in either of the two sensors you’re showing in my log either.
I might have to set up an automation for that with a trigger on the current flow
I have the same issue that these two statuses are almost always on. I have seen them turn off. But their behavior does not seem to be related to actual status of the device itself. The Flume app does seem to show these two statuses just fine. And the HA Flume integration does seem to show other Flume data correctly.
well, this was bugging me so I decided to read some source code. Now I understand what’s happening. The Flume integration is looking at the “notifications” for leak and high-flow, and the setting the sensor status based on that “notification” status. (This is the Flume notification, not an HA notification.) So once either of these Flume notifications is set, the HA sensor will show “on” until you go into the Flume app and delete the notification. I tried it and voila! I used the Android Flume app, clicked the notiffication bell in the top right, and then deleted all notifications. A few minutes later, the two sensors turned off in HA.
I don’t yet understand the API enough to know if there is a better way of handling this. Obviously it is less than desirable to need to use the Flume app to make HA “do the right thing”. I’m not sure if/how the HA notification could be used to reset these without using the Flume app.
