WATER METER using NodeMCU

[vasrc]

Eno Scientific. https://enoscientific.com/
It's been running for over 10? years.. Never failed and integrates with HS through a PI I wrote. Could probably write a simple script as well. Does RS-485(modbus), RS-232, 4-20ma outputs.
It sounds like a heartbeat, and I have a tall "stone" cover over the wellhead. Great for Halloween..

I also monitor the water pressure out of the well and after the filter/conditioner using the same ESP32 device.

The Eno well monitor looks very interesting, but will have to save up for it.

I was able to "talk" MQTT from ESP32 to HS. I want to update a WATER METER counter with the total water used for my boost pump cycle ~50G. I can send the data, ~50, to HS, but I'm not sure how to add this to the existing WATER METER value on the HS end.
Any suggestions or guidance would be much appreciated.

Not 100% sure I understand what you're attempting to do. Since this is the Arduino PI based group, might be best to do this via PM.

I have my ESP32 do the water counting and calculations (GPM, pump on/off, etc) internally and send the results to HS. HS keeps a copy of that data.

Yes, I understand. I will pursue this approach as well doing all the calculations/tallying on the ESP32/NodeMCU and sending the results for display to HS.
Thanks to all those who replied. HS is a great product with a helpful community.

VASRC,

So I was able to write code to accurately read the 1PPG from the water meter. I was able to send the value of the water meter as a message using MQTT. It does show up in Plugins > mcsMQTT > MQTT as sub:ESP32/powerhouse/water_meter_counter and sends the correct value, BUT not sure how to display the result on my devices console.
Can you give me some idea how it's done ?

If you check the checkbox to the left of the entry in the "a" column on the Association tab, it will auto create a HS4 device for you, if I understand your question.
Are you sending counts or volume (converted on the Arduino). If counts, you can enter a conversion formula for that MQTT device in the MQTT plugin, but probably best to do the conversion in the device code.
