Interesting. I would think that the offset meter reading might have been added to account for a replacement meter at some point in time. Usually, the utility would just do a final read on the old meter and start with a zero read on the new one unless they swapped a used one in. Still, that should be handled by the billing software back their office rather than by the radio in the field.
Closing due to age.
Just getting the rtlamr running and trying out the r900 decoder. I was able to find and decode based on my water meter ID. However, I noticed that there seems to be offset between the reported consumption level from the r900 vs the actual reading from the water meter.
Meter read would be at: 3753146.45 Meter read using r900 is at: 3977032
I read somewhere that the Naptune 900i can potentially be customized by the utility company, but seen as the two values are relatively close, I wonder if there was a minor issue with the decoder? Sorry I don't know go, so I can't really provide too much more info, but if there are any test you wish to run, I can try to help out.
