I'm building an open source water meter to detect costly water leaks and track your water usage. The hardware design is flexible enough to easily repurpose it for measuring residential gas and electricity meters, as well as any signal that requires continuous reading while maintaining a long battery life.

Wow! Would love to compare this to Flume! Been using it for some time but can’t quite catch one tiny leak I have


Interesting. Do you mean the leak is intermittent and Flume isn't able to detect it? I would love to know more.


Leak is happening every other day, sometimes twice a day. Flume detects it but I can’t find the source of the leak in the house. For many months now. Wondering if this is some bad reading or something else.


Strange. That's one of the reasons my leak threshold is customizable. My city water meter has an LED that turns on when it detects a leak, but I've never seen it work.
