Right now the flume is on my utility meter which meters both irrigation and in-home water-which split immediately after the meter. There's a chance notification of water running could be delayed for some time period with my flume configuration, but the comm issues aren't frequent nor long-lasting typically. I know that my flume occasionally loses connection between the pulse reader and the hub, but that's not surprising given they're some distance apart and separated by 2 stone/plaster walls and a cast iron, in-ground meter box. So other than the fact that you would need to talk to the API to know that something was amiss in order to shut the water off, it would achieve the same result at half the price?Yes, I believe so, although I can't speak to the relative reliability an accuracy of the two monitors. Flume is $169 and a z-wave shutoff valve is $35-125.

Guessing something like Big5 may be a good approach, but I'd gladly support anyone interested in developing a PI specifically for it. (With the caveat that they have access to my usage data, of course.) Perused the API docs a bit, but not having done anything of that nature before I haven't tried HS3 integration.

Was almost free after local water utility rebate.

API Type is REST, Cloud to Cloud and API Authentication is OAuth2 Password Grant.I purchased and installed one of these a couple weeks ago.

Flume has an API Guide and API Route Documentation on their website. There is a place in the Flume web interface to generate an API key if you need it. There was a delay of about 10 min until Alexa recognized it had the new skill (that of course an Amazon thing) then I could ask Flume about water running, usage etc. I just installed Flume.took less than five minutes using the iPhone app, then enabled the Alexa skill from the Alexa app. The Streamlabs unit DOES offer API access, so if someone wants to get it talking to Homeseer it would seem feasible. The vendor suggested a possible RF interference issue, so I will be doing some relocation of the receiver.Īfter three weeks of comparison I put the Streamlabs up at a mountainside house with well water- it seems to be working as designed up there, and I have no utility meter to compare to and worry about the differences in readings! I am going to re-install the Flume and have it re-calibrate to see if it gets closer to the Neptune meter this time. I can understand that being the case for the ultrasonic unit, but the Flume is monitoring the coupling magnet that drives the mechanical digit display, so it should be quite consistently accurate. NEITHER tracked the utility company Neptune T-10 meter's gallons very closely (10-15% higher than the Neptune on each reading).

I collected water usage data from each and compared to the mechanical 'water company' meter readings. Both were able to notify me when there was suspicious water flow activity.

Both were very easy to install in my case. I also purchased one of each for comparison.
