Flume Water Meter

Does anyone have any ideas. It was working, but after a restart I get this.

Error while setting up platform flume

Still can’t figure this out. Removed flume tokens file but no change.

hkamran80 · August 5, 2019, 9:46pm

Is there a way to see if the water is running?

j0dan · August 6, 2019, 8:54pm

Could use a template sensor with
value_template: {{ states('sensor.flume_current_min')|float > 0 }}

I pushed a couple updates to this project:

Added rate limiting to the API calls
Added support for litres instead of gallons ():
- unit_of_measurement: L

If you’re updating, make sure to grab the manifest.json file, as it’s changed as well.

@ender7 Are you still having trouble?

nickrout · August 14, 2019, 5:35am

Actually most of the world

ender7 · August 14, 2019, 1:49pm

@michaeldavie, yes. I reboot HA regularly as I am working on some configs. The flume plugin will throw this error and not get results after 80-90% of the HA restarts. Eventually, if I restart enough, it will eventually work, but then error again on next reboot. I’m just using it stock. No changes. Deleting flume tokens doesn’t have any effect. It seems to be getting data in that list it doesn’t expect.

michaeldavie · August 15, 2019, 2:41am

@ender7 I think I’ve fixed this. It had to do with the API limit, which I think I’ve accounted for correctly in the latest version. Please give the latest files a try and let me know if it’s working correctly for you or not.

For those interested in a running water binary sensor, I think this should do the trick:

binary_sensor:
  - platform: template
    sensors:
      water_running:
        device_class: moisture
        value_template: "{{ states('sensor.current_min') | float > 0 }}"

Thanks. Will do. In the process of porting my vm’s and docker containers to a new server, but will give this a try and report back as soon as they are back up and running.

j0dan · August 16, 2019, 5:24pm

I’m still having the IndexError: list index out of range on the newest version.

rssorensen · August 18, 2019, 5:36pm

I also have problems with the latest release.
Here is portion of my log file.

This is great work. I am getting the Flume and looking forward to using it. I was wondering if anyone in this thread also has Smartthings? I noticed there was a way to connect Smartthings to Home Assistant, so I figured I would ask in here. So far, I am not aware of any integration between Flume and Smartthings, but it would be great to be able to see the data and create actions based on water flow (e.g., shutting off an automatic water valve after certain parameters are met).

nickrout · August 21, 2019, 3:35am

Why would you need smart things for that if the flume is available as a home assistant integration?

HA11 · August 21, 2019, 3:46am

I don’t have Home Assistant, at least not yet. There might also be things that can be learned in the integration here that might help users on other platforms, such as Smartthings and Hubitat. I do know some people have multiple platforms.

nickrout · August 21, 2019, 6:52am

That is fine, but this forum is about home assistant.

mostlychris · September 23, 2019, 6:08pm

I’m having the index error as well after a restart. Any way to tell if it is hitting the API limits? I suspect that might be the cause.

jaburges · September 27, 2019, 7:14pm

just installed flume and set this up on 0.99.3 and got the following error:

dohlin · October 9, 2019, 7:45pm

Pretty sure at this point most everyone is getting this same error - I don’t think the custom component works at all anymore (at least it hasn’t for me). I’m hoping that at some point the custom component dev or someone else with sufficient expertise can create a reliable update for this!

michaeldavie · October 10, 2019, 12:54am

Sorry, I haven’t been paying attention to this…let me take a look.

SPCulhane · October 20, 2019, 1:33pm

I’m receiving the same errors too. Hopefully @michaeldavie will be able to fix it when he can. With Hacktoberfest in full swing, there is another effort to get Flume integrated into HA.
