Proposed changes

Are you considering launching a module sensor for external connection to a standard ESP32 board? I favor this solution because the location where the device is installed is accessible to individuals who are not residents of my home

martijnvwezel commented 9 months ago

So you want a module sensor for external connection to a standard esp32 board? There is on this board already a standard esp32? Dont get what you want.

amzaldua commented 9 months ago

Yes, that's correct. I would like a sensor module (just the sensor) to connect to an external ESP32 board. This way, your excellent solution would be compatible with more brands of water meters, and for meters located outside of houses, it would be more discreet and safe.

martijnvwezel commented 9 months ago

l will do this possibly in the future. Currently, focussing on Matter implementation and after that I can have a look in a special sensor board. Only thing to figure out is how to montage it..

martijnvwezel commented 9 months ago

What brand of wateermeter do you have?

amzaldua commented 9 months ago

JANZ JV600

martijnvwezel commented 9 months ago

one of the design concepts, actually working on a sensor version and small sensor version with USB-C

amzaldua commented 9 months ago

Awesome! Is the microcontroller included, right? This sensor only needs to be plugged into a USB power supply, I suppose...

It should have 2 ways of connecting, usb or a pinheader. With usb cdc every time the amount of liters changes you send an update over serial. With the pinheader you should be able to power the board and get a rotary encoder output and/or a uart output.

martijnvwezel commented 9 months ago

A small update, I rejected the board design given above. The following board is going to be produced. The board is a sensor only. Using I2C you can read the 3 light sensors. Because the light sensor only has 2 addresses there is an io extender that controllers the LED and the light sensor addresses using the io extender you select the LEDand readout the value and using our Muino 3-phase encoder sensor you can find out the position of the disk. front back
