The lady said open up some more water so he went outside and opened a hose faucet and we got a success on the calibration. But it said it wouldn’t calibrate so I sent them a message on their chat. We turned on the water at the kitchen sink. Turn on some water and let it run while in calibrate mode. Now taking a picture of this meter with the tablet wasn’t as easy as it should be as it was very hard to hold the tablet still enough to get a good focus so the numbers could be read, but after much fussing I got one good enough. Here is the Flume sensor unit mounted on the water gauge meter. ![]() I brought out the tablet to take a picture of the meter for them. So after installing their app and signing up with their web page where the water info will be stored it was time to go out and mount the water sensor on his water main gauge in this hole. Of course I took the wrong box then the one they asked for first as I didn’t read carefully so I messed up and was stuck as I couldn’t correct the mistake, so I set up another account and did it right and we were going again. The Flume 2 app also wanted me to take some pictures of the barcodes on each of their boxes so I had to figure out how to do that with the tablet. So here’s the new tablet and the Flume 2 water sensing units on the right. So we tried and tried different things and finally Google let us in so now the tablet would function as it should and we could get to installing the Fume 2 unit. Google said this is a new device and not recognized and we couldn’t get signed in to his account to get the tablet to work so we could get the Flume app at the Google store. Like most people my brothers password book was pretty screwed up. First we needed to get the new tablet recognized by Google. Getting the tablet to workĪnyway back to our project. I’ll have to try some other place for my chicken seeds. I was amazed he still remembered me and we had a good bull session. I knew the owner, many years ago and met him at the door. Well, that feed store didn’t work out as they don’t carry seeds which I feed my chickens to stay away from corn. So today I drove on over to Healdsburg to check on a feed store as my old feed store went out of business. ![]() Neither one of us knows how to use the tablet, although it’s like my cell phone that I rarely use. To monitor it he also needs some kind of device like a cell phone but he doesn’t have one of those that goes on the internet, so we ordered up a new tablet to do the job. So the city will give him a rebate on this water monitoring system, called a Flume 2 and he just received it. He has a lot of citrus in his yard so to keep them alive and not get a big fine he needs to know how much water he’s using as he using it. My brother Mike asked me to help him set up his new water meter as the city he lives in has some real strict water rationing.
