Which probe for UGI G4 gas meter [has small mirror on digit 6]?

by jgysenbergs on Mon, 24/09/2012 - 18:18

Hello all,

I scavenged the net but wasn't able to find a more or less ready made optical sensor for getting a pulse from my gas meter. The gas meter has a small mirror on the last digit 6.

Is there someone out there who has connected a similar gas meter to a Flukso?

What I'm after is a sensor which I can build myself as I'm fairly handy with a soldering iron.

An idea I came across: use a CNY70 (but how?) eg. http://www.jojos-homepage.de/ft/cny70/index.html

The jpg of the meter is attached.

Thanks, all ideas are welcome. - Jos

Hi icarus75,
Do you already have more info on the availability of this new sensor?
With kind regards,

Will this be available in the new Fluksometer v3?

See https://www.flukso.net/content/gas-reading-actaris-g4rf1 - user FLUC provides a cheap alternative.
