It emits an infrared light and detects the reflection.
Arduino pulse counter water meter.
Best live chat.
However if you have an older power meter without a pulse output then you might be able to use one of the options below to sense your water consumption.
The home for open source hardware.
A log of all water meter activity is saved on the sd card.
The ethernet connection is used to answer a handful of basic http requests.
In some cases newer water meters are equipped with a pulse output.
The pulse output may be a flashing led or a switching relay usually solid state or both.

Using an sd card and an ethernet connection together has proven challenging both use an spi connection until i used the w5100 chip based ethernet shield with an integrated sd card.
The kal d06 series digital pulse counter adds a remote digital display with reset to any mechanical water meter with pulse output.
In the above circuit i attached the pulse output pin of flow sensor to arduino digital pin 3.
The kal d06 series digital pulse counter adds a remote digital display with reset to any mechanical water meter with pulse output.
Single phase and three phase electrical energy meters gas meters water meters.
In the case of an electricity meter a pulse output corresponds to a defined amount of energy passing through the meter kwh.
Digital pin 3 of arduino is configured as interrupt pin.
Use the tcrt5000 ir barrier line track sensor.
