stevehoyt Posted January 11, 2022 Posted January 11, 2022 (edited) Hi @glarsen Just following up on a post you made in my other topic, on detecting leaks using the rain machine and the flume node servers. I have both of these apps running on my Polisy using the PG3 version. I am successfully pulling the current flow from the flume side. I was wondering if you thought any more about adding the GPM flow rate by circuit to the Rainmachine side. It is the value called "total flow" that I input when defining zones. It is the last piece of info I need to get this up and running. My goal is, when I detect a circuit running, to take this value and compare it with the actual data ( after a startup delay ), that I am getting from flume. If I see consumption higher than (expected GPM from total flow plus some margin) to flag an error. I would really appreciate it you could add this. Thanks Steve Edited January 11, 2022 by stevehoyt
glarsen Posted January 15, 2022 Posted January 15, 2022 it's a little less trivial than I first thought. I will work on it in the next few weeks. It may only be available in the PG3 version, depending on how much work is involved.
stevehoyt Posted January 15, 2022 Author Posted January 15, 2022 (edited) Thank you. I have already upgraded to the PG3 Rainmachine version, so thats fine by me. PS as an aside when the PG3 work slows down with you @glarsen and @Jimbo I have already mentioned to Jimbo that I would like to discuss a possible new nodeserver. It could leverage the work done on your 2 node servers capabilities, to create a new one that would simplify what I am trying to do. Perhaps the merged one could just set a new value when actual usage exceeded expected, with adjustable parameters.... Hopefully you two could benefit from your work to market a new one Thanks again Steve Edited January 15, 2022 by stevehoyt
stevehoyt Posted January 28, 2022 Author Posted January 28, 2022 (edited) @glarsen Hi Just took a look at my rain machine info and it appears to have changed to cfm. I believe we discussed that cfm times 7.48 will give me what I need. Is cfm going to be the final unit of measure or will it be gpm as was previously available. Thanks Steve see config info below Edited January 29, 2022 by stevehoyt add question about cfm
glarsen Posted February 9, 2022 Posted February 9, 2022 It will ultimately change to gpm when the uom is available
