From sometime ago I had a Sensus HRI-A4 pulse sensor lying around, now I am trying to figure out if I can connect this to the boxx module to read the watermeter.
Someone got an idea if this is possible and how to connect it?
Just connect a standard sensor to the gas input line of the boxx module and it should work. Make sure the sensor is well centered on the watermeter so it shows the wheel inside it spinning around (reflecting the sensor light when it makes a turn).
also enable <FT_WaterInsights_rel>1</FT_WaterInsights_rel> in the file /qmf/etc/qmf_tenant.xml

Thnx TheHogNL, will have a look this evening, and try a standard sensor, this should be no problem, only the centeri g can be a problem i know, thats why i was trying to get the sensus hri sensor connected, this fits exactly on top off the meter.
Thnx for the enable tip for ft_waterinsights

Some ducktape will work
