Water Pressure

[nov0798]

Yea I do have a basic elementary 1-wire network, that I havent done much with, but it works. Ive looked for something to minitor pressure, but havent found anything yet. The issue I have once that is done, is I dont beleive that there is any way to currently interface it to the Premise software??

It would seem to me that something could be built that would allow the serial 1-wire network to communicate with Premise via a serial to IP or something. Unfortunately I am an extremely NOVICE individual when it comes to understanding the Premise software, and writing VBScript code. Im trying to learn, but its not going to well !

Does anyone have an idea for measuring water pressure in the house, and using the Elk, and/or Premise to monitor it?

You can use a pressure switch like this.

Or a pressure transmitter like this.

The switch is factory set for 60 psi but is adjustible. It hook up to the M1 just like a door switch, but will only tell you when the pressure is below the pressure setting. The pressure transmitter is compatible with the M1 when using a 500 ohm resistor to generate 2-10 volts from 4-20 ma.
