ORAS 6150FZ Faucet

Hi

For your information - I finally managed to get some information out of my ORAS 6150FZ faucet - so I now can see the water consumption, number of valve openings and battery voltage (the BLE announcement only contains info about battery percentage).
The faucet is no longer being sold in my country, and I have no plan to replace it with a 9210FZ or 9260FZ (they are relatively expensive) - and I don’t know if the new ones use the same type of “controller”, but feel free to test.

I have put my yaml file on github - maybe not the prettiest code, but it works for me :slight_smile:

Adding a few utility meters, I now have:

Looks cool, will test later. Before that, one question. Why is it reading values only once per hour? Is it to save battery on the ESP or the tap?

It is for saving battery on the faucet - and if you add the water consumption sensor to the energy dashboard, it will not give more that hourly details anyway.
I guess the interval can be decreased - I did just not see any need for it.

Understood, it makes sense. In my first test I was not able to connect to my 9210FZ. Do you keep your faucet connectable all the time, or do you have the setting that it only connects for a while after valve has opened? I assume the latter is needed in this kind of polling.

I might also need to check that the items are in same UUIDs in this faucet as well.

I did nothing special on the faucet.
As far as I remember, the code to scan/connect is enabled once per hour. Once it connects successfully, it fetches the desired data, and then disconnects - and wait for the next “enable” to try to connect and fetch data.

It might be, that the UUID’s are different - and also, that the information is located elsewhere within the faucet…

Now had a chance to test it and works perfectly. Now I just need to add support for multiple faucets as I have two and this only listens to one.
