Hmm, I’m not getting any pulses. Two questions, did you keep the same wiring diagram as the original blog post? And also, I have a plexiglass cap on my meter which stops me from getting right up against it. Is this similar for everyone?
I managed to fix this. It’s because the same pin is defined twice for two sensors. Only the latter sensor definition will work. platform: copy is the solution, but a template sensor should also work. See two sensors with same input not work with latest firmware · Issue #3364 · esphome/issues · GitHub.
I also cleaned up the code a bit, I can now see both usage in litres and meter reading in cubic meters:
