Glad to hear you’re interested!
The feedback from users like you is really valuable. Are you mainly looking to track usage for a specific appliance (like a washing machine or dishwasher), or do you need something to monitor the whole house’s main line?
We’d love to know what features you’d like to see most!

Thanks for asking! We are absolutely committed to supporting the open-source community.
We are currently refining the device definitions to ensure full compatibility with ZHA, and we aim to submit the PR soon. We will also keep the community posted on the progress.

Hi,

@zemismart Whats the difference between 214C and 213E regarding to Home Assistant usage?
Will I get the real time flow in Home Assistant (ie right now value)?

I saw that it measures in m3/h, how many decimals are reported to Home Assistant(in the pictures it looks like it detects liters)?

Whats the least detectable amount of water?

this is the page in Z2M, and the report period time is 1h

The interface parameters are the same, but the 214C has an additional power switch button.
The decimal point is set to three decimal places.
The minimum water volume to be measured is 0.001 cubic meters.

35

So the meter only report every hour to Z2M?
To use it as a leak detector can be a 1hr leak then if I understand correctly.

There is a “instantaneous” value, is that not the real instant value?

So it is recommended to use Z2M rather than ZHA ?

36

In comparison, Z2M offers more page features, depending on individual needs. The instantaneous value refers to the instantaneous flow rate at the moment of upload.

37

Thanks for the info then I know

Hi
I tried ZHA with the 214C but didn’t get any values at all, after 1 day I only could turn it of and on.

Switched to z2m where I get more data

Hello, could you help diagnose the issue, here's what I have done:

I've downloaded the "add on for 214c.py", edited the name of the zigbee unit, and added the quirk path. I am still not getting data from the unit.

I appreciate all the help you can provide!

Thanks!

I am using Home Assistant and I do have a ZigBee 3.0 adapter - I confirmed the manufacturer's page.
