Natural gas metering would be great… According to PG&E, our natural gas prices have gone up 90% from last winter… I have been thinking about moving from my natural gas water heater to a hybrid heat-pump water heater, which supposedly is super energy efficient when in heat-pump mode… I have excess solar production, so the water heating would effectively be “free”… But how much free water heating to make up for the extra cost of the hybrid water heater, the electrician to run a 220v from my main panel to the garage, AND the plumber to hook up the new water heater? The water meter would definitely be much more interesting to me if it could turn off the water remotely like “Flo by Moen”… The usage data is still interesting to me… It’s super interesting to me that my wife likes to take a 2.25GPM shower for 7-9 minutes, and I like to take a 1.25GPM shower for 12-18 minutes… I would have never known that without the meter… AND it was interesting to know that my toilet uses 2.5 gallons per flush…Īll that data falls into the interesting but not actionable territory… The complete eye opener was how much water my outdoor irrigation use is, versus my interior household use… It’s clear that if I want to make an impact on my water usage, I really need to focus on the outside… That said, I always appreciate people who keep themselves in “check” on stuff like that… Says a lot about your personality… I try to do the same…

Thanks for the reply… And no, I did not take your comment in an insulting way… I have thicker skin than that… It also has a away/home leak mode to help with the false alarms… However you have to open the app, and toggle to from home/ away. However everything you try to click on within the app lets you know they have all your usage records but to see them requires a subscription.

The app will tell you when it detects a leak (push alert- which I get a lot of false alarms) and you can see how much you have used so far for just today, current calendar month or current calendar year. The cost to access your API is the reason I would NOT recommend StreamLabs. However StreamLabs advertise they have an API which they do but you have to pay $6 a month to access it (which they don’t advertise) … Which I’m not willing to do.

Mainly because hard to figure out because I can only view today, this month (Jan 1 till current) or this year Then I have to compare it to where my meter readings are on random days of the month and WV American Water might have 38 days on my bill or 35 days and read it on the 16th this month then the 25 next month. I have been surprise how accurate it is when comparing it to my bill’s averages. I have a StreamLabs water monitor with is just one that straps on the side of the water pipe like the flume (ultrasonic transducers).
