How to calibrate a counter ?

[eole]

Hello,

I began to test a water meter with pulse transmitter and GP1 module to monitor my water consumption using my 1wire network.

I manage now to get back the daily consumption in liter (I had difficulty in understanding where to put the conversion gallon / liter but 0,2642 seems to be the good value)

I also manage to get the hourly average consumption and a counter. The counter shown in IO 1wire is near 610 liter at the moment and the counter which I get back in xap1wire is 2578108181,2 liter. It is not a big problem because it increments correctly.

But my problem is that the counter is 2578108181,2 liter and that I do not manage to find how to reset this value.

If I understand, the GP1 can not be reinitialized but I would like to find a place "to calibrate" by adding for example -2578108181,2 to have zero at the beginning of my statements.

In mscXap, the device is informed in string but nothing in value. In string, there is an icon, the figure and ‘liter' (for example)

Is there a way :
either to reset the GP1 meter,
or to calibrate the value in mscXap, or Xap1wire,
or to get back the value in this html string and store it in the same device or in the other one?

I hope my English is clear enough.

Thanks in advance for your help

eole,

To reset the counter, you will need to edit the file 'mcsXap1Wire.ini'. Please refer to this thread: http://board.homeseer.com/showthread.php?t=138535 starting with post 7 for details on making the edits.
