Flukso Gas meter reed switch

Submitted by jdr0berts on Wed, 17/12/2014 - 23:31

Hi there,

I'm intending/hoping to be able to add a FLukso reed switch to monitor gas usage to an EmonTx V2 I'm in the process of building, is there anything I've missed which means I won't be able to achieve this?

Secondly - has anyone ordered one of these for delivery to the UK - postage seems extreme at 18euros, given the reed switch is only 12 euros?

Cheers

James

I think I'd be inclined to use one of these and a lump of Blu Tack.
There are many threads about this, here's one with (some way down) a picture of that reed switch held close to a gas meter. http://openenergymonitor.org/emon/node/1732
