Add stored GPM "total Flow" for each circuit to zone info

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

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.

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

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
