I’m looking for a simple way to measure cumulative water flow (gallons) through a pipe and have this appear as an entity in Home Assistant. (This is basically a water sub-metering application, but no need to be revenue grade or include any sort of “smart shutoff” function.)
I have a meter installed (this one) which claims to have a pulse output. Can anyone recommend a device that can basically count the pulses and expose them as a HA entity?
My preference would be Z-wave based, but only thing I’ve been able find is the “Royallo z-wave pulse counter” for $95, but the company’s website (with a webhosting.comcast.net URL) doesn’t even seem stable enough to let me place an order, so I’m just a little skeptical. Any recommendations?
