The WaterMeterKit V3 offers a simple way to monitor your water consumption in real time in Home Assistant.

The kit is designed for households that want more insight into their water consumption and want to save water more smartly. Thanks to its broad compatibility with many European water meters, installation is quick and easy in most situations.

What's in the box?

  • WaterMeterKit V3: The central unit for water monitoring. Sends real-time water consumption data to Home Assistant via WiFi.
  • Detachable WaterMeterSensor with 3-meter cable: Easily detachable from the unit and flexible to place. Designed for broad compatibility with water meters from Sensus, Itron, Actaris, Schlumberger, Elster, Honeywell, and other commonly used brands.
  • Universal holder with mounting material: For easy mounting on the water meter.

Power via USB-C:
The WaterMeterKit V3 is powered via USB-C. For the best and most stable operation, we recommend our USB-C Adapter Set with 3-meter cable. This is perfectly suited for this product and can be easily ordered as an option.

Prepared for Thread/OpenThread:
Thanks to the updated hardware, the WaterMeterKit V3 is prepared for modern wireless applications such as Thread/OpenThread. The standard installation remains via WiFi.

Tip: measure water and energy or prefer Ethernet/PoE?
Do you want to read your energy consumption via the P1 port in addition to water consumption, or do you want to use a wired Ethernet connection with PoE? Then choose the WaterP1MeterKit V4. It combines water and energy measurement with WiFi, Ethernet, and PoE.

Different water meter brand?

Our sensor detects the metal rotating disc in analog water meters. This small metal disc (often silver-colored) rotates when water flows through. The sensor registers each rotation via magnetic detection = 1 liter of water. ⚠️ No rotating metal part? Then our sensor won't work.

Absolutely. With the Watermeterkit, you can track your water consumption by the hour, day, month, and year and compare it in clear charts.

Yes. The updated hardware is prepared for Thread/OpenThread. For normal use, WiFi remains the standard and recommended installation. Only use Thread/OpenThread when you have matching firmware, a Thread border router and Home Assistant configuration.

No. Thread uses the same 2.4 GHz radio technology as Zigbee, but it is a different protocol. You do not pair the WaterMeterKit V3 as a Zigbee device.

Certainly! The Watermeterkit provides real-time insight into your water consumption, allowing you to see how much water you use in daily activities directly.

The Watermeterkit works seamlessly with Home Assistant. You can monitor and manage your water consumption through this popular smarthome software.

No, the installation is designed to be simple. The included instructions will guide you step by step.

The WaterMeterKit V3 is prepared for Thread/OpenThread, but it is used via WiFi by default. OpenThread is mainly intended for users who deliberately use a Thread network and install firmware intended for that setup.

Yes. For a Thread network you need a Thread border router that connects your Thread network to your regular network and Home Assistant. Without such a Thread network, use the WaterMeterKit V3 via WiFi.
