Graphs for water and gas.

Post by --Oz-- »

Hi,

Three questions:
1.
I got my electric metering going and in encompass I see data/graphs about 2 weeks ago.
Yesterday I connected up the water and gas to the Omnimeter and its counting pulses, all good (I see them from the push3 meter online).

Now I want to see water and gas used in units/graphs and not just pulse counts.
In encompass, I chose Pulse 1 or 2 meter and my only options are:
Calendar, comparison or Info widget.

2.
The omnimeter has like 40 items it outputs, can I reduce this to what I am interested in?
(W, A, V, Pf, pulses, etc)

3. Any other free options instead of encompass?

My systems specs.
EKM-Push3 #ST1 EKM Push3
Omni Pulse v.4 #27 EKM Omnimeter Pulse v.4 - #27
PGM.75 #40 3/4 Inch Pulse Output Gas Meter - PGM-075
SPWM-075 #39 3/4 Inch Water Meter - Stainless Steel, Pulse Output

TIA!
Jameson

1.) Good to hear!
Pulse meters can be defined in Encompass as either water or gas meters: https://help.ekmmetering.com/support/so ... ur-account

By the way for anyone else reading this post. If your water meters or gas meters do not show up in encompass right away, you can try adding them yourself, or if you wait less than 24 hours, they will get added automatically: https://help.ekmmetering.com/support/so ... ur-account

2.) The v.4 Omnimeter’s LCD screen can be set to display less data but the meter read will always include all of the data. If you are using our Open API you can specify the data fields you want through API call filters. You can learn more about the open APIs and the filters you can use here: https://documents.ekmmetering.com/api-docs/?shell

Here are the fields that get displayed on the LCD screen of the Omnimeters: https://help.ekmmetering.com/support/so ... cd-display

3.) All of our software options are free (our Open APIs are also free): https://www.ekmmetering.com/pages/software

Another question:
I have this gas meter:
PGM.75 #40 3/4 Inch Pulse Output Gas Meter - PGM-075
and it says it outputs " 1 Pulse Per Cubic Foot".
The gas bill is in Therms.
Can I just change the widget to therms and It will do the conversion?
TIA!

Hello Oz,

Yes, you should be able to select Therms for your "Display Units" for your gas meter, this is behind the Meter Settings tab in the www.encompass.io interface.
