Flume app4/10/2024 This time, all the taps, inside and out, were positively off. When I had the opportunity, I searched the house for likely causes. The flow was slight, so I ignored it for a time. Flume reported 0.1 GPH flowing from 8:20am onward. On Friday, July 29th, after reporting to my desk, I noticed a leak by way of the Home Assistant UI. In this case, Flume not only alerted me to the leak, it basically told me that I should consider replacing these faucets with a shutoff that’s easier to use. Most likely Estella didn’t quite manage to turn it hard enough. This faucet requires considerable torque to fully turn it off. It was connected to a drip watering system, so the flow was not apparent. I eventually found that a faucet in the garden was not entirely turned off. Hunting around the inside of the house I could not find any toilets running or faucet. I turned to the Flume app on my phone and it echo’d this info. The alert indicated the start time and flow volume, which was very small, less than 0.1 GPH. The notable thing is that, in all cases, the flow returns to zero after some rational amount of time.Ī few weeks after Flume was installed I received an email alerting me to a potential leak. Just looking at the pattern of flow as exposed in HA, some of this seems readily apparent. This I have displayed on the main page of our HA UI.Ĭlicking on it gets to a page where I can dive into history of water flow over a specific period of time, as shown below. The only one I am really interested is Flume Sensor Home Current, the real-time indication of flow in-progress. With the integration installed the device was auto-detected. Home Assistantįlume integration into Home Assistant was very simple. Over time the Flume system evaluates flow patterns to work out what was tap, toilet, shower, laundry and other.
