Can I use an RIO MM1001 to natively measure natural gas flow through pulse output?

I will do this in Node-RED and plan to just use a function node to convert the pulses to cubic feet (100 cubic foot/pulse acc. to the utility guy). Is there more complexity that I am not seeing?

I was thinking of demand management. If all you are after is volume, then no, straight one-line Javascript math.
Too easy.

Yep, this is going to be a glorified flow meter that is one step up from my MacGyver camera contraption.

Hi @grant1 ! Sorry I didnā€™t see these replies until now.
How did your implementation work out?
We are using Ignition as the endpoint for the pulse meter data, and I havenā€™t gotten around to making the report yet.

Hi @luke.rector

The utility company delivered the pulse meter last week and we have not yet had a chance to hook it up. Should get it done in the next week or two and will post back hereā€¦
