Hi - I am the author for the openhab binding supporting the Flume water meter. The binding currently keeps a cumulative water usage meter (similar to the reading on your water meter). To do that, when the binding starts, i query water usage for multiple years (since 2016) to set a baseline and then subsequent queries are done for shorter periods and I just add to the baseline number.

Your customer-facing service web pages tell me how to place the Flume receiver for optimal signal strength. Your service staff adds a few additional details.

The GPM value responses to the 'get current flow rate' query does not correspond to the values in the app dashboard; eg while the clothes washer is filling I am seeing a few minutes of ~2.5 GPM via API polling and the dashboard shows ~3.8 Gallons in the 'per minute' bar graph view for the same time span. The ratio doesn't suggest an obvious (to me) unit disagreement; what explains the different values?

What is the battery life ??

The user dashboard shows the current flow rate. I do not see a response in the API that includes this metric. Is it available in the API?

Hi - I'm writing the binding for to support Flume devices for openhab. Given openhab has its own persistence service, I'd like to query a cumulative number of gallons used over time. I have a few questions:

Is there/will there be any API support for getting water use breakdown by type/appliance?

Are device IDs permanent? Similar to a network interface's MAC address or a phone's IMEI?

It seems that both the Bridge and the Sensor are included within the device list and each would have a device ID. Which device should be used when querying for usage data?

How do you get devices shared to the user via the API?
