Zigbee Gas Counter

Hello everyone,

I’m excited to share a project I’ve been working on: Zigbee Gas Meter.

This is a fully open-source solution for gas metering using Zigbee, designed to integrate seamlessly with Home Assistant. The project addresses several challenges in creating a reliable and efficient gas metering device, and it’s now mature enough to be shared with the community.

While the “counter” functionality is fully implemented and operational, there are still some pending decisions, such as finalizing the best power solution for the unit (e.g., using a LiPo battery or a CR123A battery).

I welcome contributions from other developers who are interested in improving or expanding the project. Your feedback and ideas are also greatly appreciated!

Feel free to check out the GitHub repository for more details.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

Best regards,

Ignacio

Looks interesting, I’ll keep an eye on it :slight_smile:

My gas meter looks like this, though:

Where do you think I have a decent chance of picking up the magnetic pulse?

You need to find the documentation about your counter.

Mine is a BK-G6M from Honeywell and I was able to find that information there.

Good luck!

Been trying to find documentation but failed so far.
I just thought there is kind of a common or most likely spot where I would be able to pick up the magnet’s rotation.

I’ll keep searching, though.

Hey, nice project I’m willing to test it/compare it to my initial modification of the door sensor
I use a “AA” size 3.7V Feo4 in my project and it keeps the gas sensor happy for about 1 year in a -10 celcius winters.(only charge it to 3.3V there is a 18650 version of the Feo4 battery i manly use it because of the convenient 3,7V max voltage anything else it will require an stepdown.
