Push 3 Installation Question

I am setting up a Push 3 system for the first time and wondering what the USB port is for on the Push 3. There is no explanation about this connector or its use in the installation instructions. I tried to connect by 485Bee network to the Push 3 using a Blink converter plugged into the USB port but ...

I have a current setup using Dash to collect data from three Omnimeter V.4 devices. I use a Windows PC running a Blink on one of the USB COM ports to connect with a mesh network of Zigbee radios deployed aound a small community. I log electrical and water flow useage data from a few water wells on a...

Re: How to Use the v.4 Omnimeter's Controllable Outputs

Yes, my current configuration is EKM Dash on a Windows PC USB port to a Blink and to a mesh network of 900 mHz 485Bee radios connected to Omnimeter V.4 at multiple locations.

I will give the Push3 a try and have ordered one from you to experiment with. Thanks again for your help on this.

How to Use the v.4 Omnimeter's Controllable Outputs

I am trying to find a way to add a simple pump on/off control between a storage tank and a water well to turn a pump on and off. I have a normally open (NO) float switch in the tank and a motor starter at the well head. At both locations, I have v.4 Omnimeters connected to your Zigbee RS485 radios t...

Setting Up a Repeater in a Digi Mesh Network

I am using your X-bee radios (PRO 900HP) in a mesh network to monitor a number of remote Omnimeter V4's. One of the remotes is challenging to get reliable communications with due to the topology. I have deployed an extra radio as a remote in a location that is LOS to both the end point and my base s...

OK thanks. The meter was just purchased in November so is relatively new. Serial# 350005381.

Re: Suggestion for EKM Dash Pulse Counters

I do realize I can set the Pulse Value to "Milliliter" and the Input Ratio to 100:1 but this gives me a display in milliliters so a bit confusing to always have to convert (1000 ml. = 1 liter). My end calculations I want to get to is a flow rate measurement of ltrs./sec. and a pump efficie...

Suggestion for EKM Dash Pulse Counters

I am using Dorot metric water meters with a reed switch pickup that puts out 1 pulse per 1/10 of a cu. mtr. (10 liters). With the EKM Omnimeter Pulse V4 there does not appear to be a setting option to count these pulses on a 1:1 basis, only liters and milliliters. Canada and Mexico are on the metric...
