Water Usage Plotting

Have a question about plotting water usage:

Have a counter that increments by 1 every time an I/o Linc Controller receives a pulse from a flow pulse generator on the water line (1 pulse equals one gallon). Stored in GallonCounter as the variable name

I followed the instruction and can get a plot with IndigoD of the counter - galloncounter

What I would really like is the following - Hourly water usage as well as daily usage.

In section 1.2 of the Variable to be tracked I see the delta option as well as the integral over time. The integral over time does not have an hourly option.

Looking for help on hour to generate two plot,
1. One for hourly consumption per day
2. Daily consumption per month

Lastly is there any way to input or choose a date value and have it display the two plots (hourly and monthly) for the day choosen?

Thanks in advance

Re: Water Usage Plotting

I believe John Steenhuis has done that for gas and electricity

as for the delta / hour use delta this - last bin (not 100% of what you want .. it is delta of average ( value [n] - value[n-1] not delta of max value , just to get you started.)

and what is the definition of "Daily consumption per month" day average in a month?

Re: Water Usage Plotting

try the lastest v7.20.70 juts published

I have added delta max measurement as compared to delta average.
That should give you the delta you want:
LastValue[bin] - LastValue[bin-1]
then use hours plot and that should give you the delta in counts

Re: Water Usage Plotting

Daily consumption is just the total gallons used per day.

To be more specific the meter is connected to my pool fill line.

I am tracking to see if I have a leak in the pool. If the consumption starts to be more regular then I would need to check the pool for a leak. If it is sporadic and associated with cleaning the pups then not so much.

I would like to produce a graph like the one below.

The top graph shows the day of the month in hours and the bottom shows the month.

Ideally I would like to be able to enter the specific day and then display the info for that day - need to bet the basics working first...will download the latest version and modify things
