water meter Vitens in Dashticz

Hello,
i have been able to read my watermeter from vitens en get the liters in Domoticz and Dashticz.
The only problem i have is that the block is displaying the "total meter reading" instead of only the total day usage?
if i click on the block i can see the total day usage in the left upper corner (0,05m3), but i want tot show this directly on my dashboard.
and if its possible in liters...
Does anyone know how to do this?
Code: Select all
blocks[water_vandaag] = {}
//blocks[water_vandaag]['filter'] = 'day';
blocks[water_vandaag]['width'] = 6;
blocks[water_vandaag]['image'] = 'water.png';
blocks[water_vandaag]['title'] = 'water vandaag';
blocks[water_vandaag]['show_lastupdate'] = false;
blocks[water_vandaag]['protected'] = true;
blocks[water_vandaag]['popup'] = 'graph_92';
Code: Select all
// Definition 'water' graph
blocks['graph_92'] = {
devices: [92],
title: 'water',
graph: 'bar',
datasetColors: ['yellow'],
legend: {
'v_92': 'waterverbruik'
}
}

Nice job.
I am also working on reading my water meter.
The model I have here has no reflective pice on the wheels. Even no wheels at all.
A magnetic switch like you used did not work also.
A compas showed that there is a magnet moving deep inside the meter.
So I thought I use a i2c magnetic sensor.
This works on my domoticz on a pi.
Now how to get the info to be visible in domoticz?

This is the Dashticz forum. Do you have it working in Domoticz already?

Yes, for over 10 years a working system with p1 meter solar panels and switches on a pi. Often browsed the forum for tips and found them.
I thought now it is time to connect my watermeter.
And found out it was more difficult than I thought.
Because the normal route by a magmatic switch I did not get this working up to 24v and no succes.
Also no other users had this meter working here in the Netherlands.
So I thought I attack that by i2c with a HMC5883L 3axe kompas.
The first adventure was quite disappointing, a lot of errors with with all the i2c tool libs, python3 stuff. Still no output from the compas.
Yesterday evening there was this eureka moment and after a nice tip I found the right driver (QMC5883) and now I have output on the. I2c bus. And data from the compas is interacting with the water flow.
Now I try to find a route to get this data so that it is readable by domoticz.
The data now is a running number from 2000 down to -2000
So a bit of value tweaking and there should be a form of on off value available.
My first idee was to let this value flip a gpio pin an connec this to an other gpio pin and read this into domoticz. Het is the short coming of my Python programming skills.
So I was after a idee to achieve this.
Regards
Hans
Sorry for the long read

Hi Nils, did you find the solution to show only the day usage?
I now have the same setup- and have the same problem...
I only see the total used liters/m3 and not the daily usage in dashticz

I used counter and not the incremental counter and it worked!
