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

add question about cfm

It will ultimately change to gpm when the uom is available
