I have installed a water meter sensor on my meter to track water usage at home. The sensor measures in litres and updates every few seconds.
I am wanting to detect if there is a leak/burst pipe and thru help from the forum, the Trend sensor was suggested, but I need some advice with setting it up.
What I am trying to achieve, is for the sensor to trigger if >35 litres of water is used each min, continuing for a period of 5 minutes. I know this could generate some false alarms, but I thought I will add some conditions in an automation later.
I just want to confirm what I should enter in the config.
The minimum rate, should I enter 0.5? (35/60)
Duration to store samples, should this be 300 seconds?
Minimum / max number of stores samples, what value should I add here?
Thanks for your help
