Getting notification when flow exceeds or drops below a preset threshold should do the trick. I'd set the threshold to a little above the "drip" factor to...
I'm covered on the water sensor and water shut-off mechansim. What I need is a flow monitor.
Water usage is not vital, but rather an indication of whether water is flowing. Because the application is flood/leak detection, a general purpose water meter will not necessarily be a good fit...
I want to put a residential water management solution in place with three components:
1. Water Detection (triggers when a "dry zone" gets wet)
2. Water Flow Monitoring (to help determine when there may be a leak, even if water is not detected in a dry zone)
3. Water Shutoff Mechanism (motorized...
This is a really great resource - wish I came across it earlier, but glad to have found it now.
Suggestion: I wonder if it isn't possible to structure the "Controller" and "Software" sections so that it's easier to make apples to apples comparisons in the areas where they apply.
