what I use here:

Water > RFXCOM
Gas / Power > Smart meter P1 port

@123unlock:
Can you describe your solution with your watermeter and RFXcom ? I also try to monitor my water usage via RFXmeter+RFXpulse and RFXcom. But it does not yet work 100% reliable. See also my recent reply in the RFXcom topic

i just asked for the watercompagny for a meter with a output for a external counter
and they did installed one

[Mai Pensato]

What meter did they install and which external counter do you use?

[Akatar]

they installed a meter with s0 output, i connected a rfxcom pluse counter

[123unlock]

I use it with the reflective sensor, there is a little spinning wheel that turns around one time per liter
took some time to carefully calibrate the reflective sensor, but last year my rfxmeter was only 12 liters off with the main meter

on yearly base I think this is acceptable

@123unlock: I have exactly the same solution! At this moment I have a bigger deviation: approximately 1% too high, which is more like 10-12 liters per week. How did you calibrate the sensor ? I used the potentiometers P1 and P2 on the RFXpulse. Did you also use the jumpers JP3 and JP4 to set the debounce time ? If yes what is your setting? I have now both jumpers open = debounce time 65ms

Vitens? And if so what brand of meter did they replace the old meter with?

Ik denk dat https://waterbedrijfgroningen.nl/ daar de levering doet

Anyone experieces or tips you want to share to get the measurements as reliable as possible ??
