Flume
The flume sensor will show you the current flume status for the given Device ID.
Flume monitors the real-time status of your home water meter. Allowing the end-user to detect small leaks, gain real-time information on household water consumption, set water goals and budgets, and receive push notifications when suspicious water activities occur.
Configuration
Adding Flume to your Home Assistant instance can be done via the user interface, by using this My button:
Flume can be auto-discovered by Home Assistant. If an instance was found, it will be shown as “Discovered”, which you can select to set it up right away.
If there wasn’t any discovered automatically, don’t worry! You can set up a manual integration entry:
- Browse to your Home Assistant instance.
- In the sidebar click on Configuration.
- From the configuration menu select: Integrations.
- In the bottom right, click on the Add Integration button.
- From the list, search and select “Flume”.
- Follow the instruction on screen to complete the set up.
You can find your Client ID and Client Secret under “API Access” on the settings page.
The Flume API access is available to Flume Insight users only, which may require a paid subscription.
To add Flume to your installation, go to Configuration >> Devices & Services in the UI, click the button with + sign and from the list of integrations select Flume.
