EKM Metering

Sorry, I am just seeing this. I would certainly investigate why you think the water meter is going backwards. I assume there must be a mistake in the readings. I would watch the dials to make sure they are incrementing forward. The total pulse count and the total on the face of the meter can be diff...

Unfortunately I cannot see the second dial (the one next to the magnetic dial) of the EKM meter in the first photo. I'm also not able to make heads or tails of the city water meter. Does the clear face of your EKM water meter have a crack in it? If so, do you know how that would have happened? Here ...

We are very pleased to announce that our EKM Omnimeter Pulse v.4 UL is now listed on the official SCE EVSE Submetering list. This allows SCE (Southern California Edison), SDG&E (San Diego Gas and Electric), and PG&E (Pacific Gas and Electric) residential or business customers to separately s...

For the LAN API, you can either use a fixed local IP address (if you set the Push3 gateway to a fixed IP) as the example above shows using 10.200.0.21 in our case ... Or (if your network supports it and your HA gateway is on the same network) you can use .local, which is great if the Push3 gateway l...

The EKM Push3 gateway should send the data from the time that the Push3 was offline (powered up and reading the EKM Omnimeter, but not connected to the internet). This may take some time (a few hours or so), but it should send this data to your SFTP server and fill in the missing 15 minute chunks of...

Happy to help if we can! For water meter data we tend to look at the 15 minute or hourly data. Its usually enough to let you know if there is an issue (a leak, unexpected usage, or an issue with the pulse counting) Here is what 15 minute data for 2 days looks like: Screen Shot 2025-02-11 at 5.39.52 ...

You can connect an ioStack to your RS485 network or wireless 485Bee network in the same way that you connect an EKM Omnimeter. At the remote site you could could have an EKM ioStack powered by a 12 volt DC power supply, it is hardwired to a 485Bee. You can have other iostacks or Omnimeters hardwired...

Thanks, I think your idea could work if there were always multiple pulses per minute (maybe in the case of an electric meter for example). But in most cases for water meters the pulses per minute are zero or usually zero (particularly if the water meter is a non-HD model). So that is the issue that ...

Hello Ezzie, Sorry I did not see your posts earlier. I love your ideas here and where your head is at. Yes, it seems like you could use an Omnimeter Pulse v.4 to count the up pulses as the float rises, and then count the down pulses as the float goes down. Then the difference between the 2 numbers s...

I think you can include the union in the straight pipe part of the calculation. This is not intended to answer your specific question, but I thought I should include it here as well. The ideal water meter install would have: incoming water > shutoff valve > gravity trap > a sieve or a filter > a che...
