Virtual Gas & Water Meters

Virtual gas and water counters for Homey. Exposes cumulative meters (meter_gas, meter_water) so they appear in Homey Energy with history and Flow cards for setting/incrementing values. Features: - Virtual Gas meter (meter_gas) - Virtual Water meter (meter_water) - Flow cards: - Set gas meter to: set absolute value (m3) - Increase gas meter by: add a delta (m3) - Reset gas meter - Set water meter to: set absolute value (liters) - Increase water meter by: add a delta (liters) - Reset water - Homey Energy integration (cumulative measuring devices) - "Exclude from Energy" toggle in Device Settings Requirements: - Homey / Homey Pro (latest Homey app) Add a device: 1) Devices → + → Virtual Gas & Water Meters 2) Choose Virtual Gas Meter or Virtual Water Meter 3) Confirm Add Device Settings: - Exclude from Energy: temporarily hides the device from Energy by removing its capability. Turning it off restores the capability and last value. Homey Energy: - Uses cumulative measuring devices: Homey reads meter_gas / meter_water and plots consumption. - Water meter reports liters to Homey Energy while the capability shows the converted m3 reading. - Values must be cumulative (increasing). Reset is possible via Flow cards (may affect charts). Updating values (Flows): - Gas cards use cubic meters (m3). - Water cards use liters (1 pulse = 1 liter). The tile shows m3; Homey Energy charts show liters per time period. - Reset cards set the running total to zero. Troubleshooting: - Not visible in Energy: 1) Ensure "Exclude from Energy" is OFF in Settings. 2) Send multiple small increments spaced apart (e.g., Increase by 1L a few times with 1-2 minutes delay) so Energy has at least two time-separated samples. 3) In Energy, switch timescale (e.g., Last 24 hours) and reopen Gas/Water. 4) Optionally restart the app (Apps → Virtual Gas & Water Meters → Restart). - No history in Insights: ensure you mutate meter_gas/meter_water and the value does not decrease. - "Tracks total home energy consumption" typically does not show for gas/water; it is primarily for electrical meters.
