EKM Metering

Thanks for the clarifications so far. A couple of additional ones requested: I currently have the Push3 set to send 15-minute chunks of the complete reads (not just summary files) to an SFTP server under my control. Recently there was a connectivity issue between the Push3 and my SFTP server in the ...

Actually, those 2 views of pulse data (as bar charts) are quite useful. Please consider adding those to the Encompass.io dashboard widgets for Pulse meters, including the ability to expand the widget full-width, the way the Electric kWh real-time widget is. Also make it possible to manually-adjust t...

Thanks for your detailed reply including a sample graph. I see what you mean for the case of very low pulse-count meters. I'll examine my own pulse count outputs & records over the coming weeks and months (for hot/cold water, and for natural gas) and see if there are any integration windows that...

Thanks for your reply. Yes, a real-time chart for pulse counters (water or gas or anything else) is what I'd like to have available in Encompass if it was possible. I realize there is a difference between a kWh meter, which outputs both an instantaneous Watt measurement and a train of pulses, vs. th...

Pipe Lengths Rule of Thumb: Must have at least 10 pipe diameters in pipe length before the water meter and at least 5 pipe diameters in pipe length after the water meter. For example if you have 1.5 inch pipe and water meter you would want 15 inches of straight pipe before your water meter and 7.5 ...

The real-time chart for electricity is the most-useful format for analyzing electrical energy usage by time of day. Please add real-time charts widgets to Encompass.io for pulse inputs. I'd like to be able to see what times of day water & natural gas are being used, and at approximately what rat...

Thank you for the detailed and comprehensive review of the LAN-accessible API built into the Push3 itself.

I think I'll probably just use the Summary files that get uploaded automatically on a rolling basis from my Push3 (via SFTP) to a separate server on my local LAN.

Is there any discussion open about privacy and confidentiality concerns w/ stored data? Is there an option to set a coarser long-term storage summary window, say single-day summaries instead of 15-minute summaries after a certain time threshold, e.g all data older than X days gets chunked into daily...

This may set some sort of record for a late reply, nearly a decade later, but I think it fits under this topic. I have reasons to want to pull Daily EKM Push summary reports directly from my EKM Push 3 device itself on the local LAN, not via the Encompass or EKM Push cloud API. (Mainly internet gate...

That's a thorough, complete & clear explanation covering all current options for 1-second data, as well as pricing for sub-60-second cloud polling intervals.

In my case I think it will suffice to just do local LAN API calls directly to the PUSH3 device.

Thanks for your reply.
