Gas Meter

I have tried to connect a door sensor (reed contact) to my Gas counter,
I worked few days, the cell is empty now, it has sent 1200 hits in 3 days,
the door sensor I used : https://www.aliexpress.com/item/6pcs-lo ... 26744.html
I have also printed a sensor holder: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2749173
Now I am looking to build a cheap and more time efficient solution:
  • the gas counter is outdoor
  • 30 meters from domoticz
  • I can put a wire between the gas counter et the house
I have looked at https://blog.danman.eu/smart-energy-meter/,
the writer explain how to build a low consumption system: is it possible to inject in domoticz data from the past?
I am open to any idea!

Thanks

Yes, if you mean data from last week / last year. Look at this topc
in summary:
  • create new device with same type / subtype
  • goto new device
  • click edit device
  • click transfer // depending on your theme, the button can be called transfer, copy or replace
  • select your source (old) device. // If no source devices then the new device is not same type / subtype
  • click OK

Not exactly, what I mean is: if I use the Bluetooth solution (https://blog.danman.eu/smart-energy-meter/), I will connect to it on a weekly basis, I would like to update the data of the existing device (I dont expect to create a new device each time)

You can inject the data in the domoticz history tables. I don't see a date/time stamp in the data. How would the formatted data look like ?

I don't know yet, as long as it is possible to inject historical data, it is fine, I will try.
