I ended up using bits of this and that, some custom tweaks here and there, and after a lot of log.debug statements using web Smartthings IDE that at times provides zero stack tracing I created this Flume frankenstein app…Again enjoy… First github contribution too woohoo, more to come, stay tuned.
Any updates on this? I can’t seem to get it to work. I put all the information in correctly, created a new device using the DH but no data is showing up. Just shows “DRY” and “Now Monitoring”, everything else is blank.
add the smartapp and the device handler in the ide side you then go to the smartapp settings on the SmartThings ide.
You provide the api key and secret key you see listed on Flume web dashboard.
You then enable Oauth in the same smartapp settings page on SmartThings ide.
You then go to classic SmartThings app to add your Flume login info and Must provide the house name in my case Lindas Home (must use exact name listed on Flume App see Flume App screenshot in prior post)
Seems like readding the smartapp did the trick, thank you!
Do you know if the current API allow usage data by the minute like in the app/dashboard?
Want to setup with webCORE to track gpm averages and classify them based on gpm and maybe do other things.
Yes the FlUme API provides this info. The smartapp has a query called currentMin beginning in line 388. You could trace the code and replace the monthly query tile to replace it with currentMin. If you have trouble getting to show up Ill add it in a later release in a few days.
I spent all day configuring the ‘currentMin’ as currentFlow and have a working product. Currently using it with webCORE to create some automation, pretty neat so far.
One more enhancement that will be useful is to initiate a phone call to alert the User when there is a leak. I currently hard coded to do an IFTTT maker webhook call that in turn uses a Phone Call action to call home the Leak Message.
Ideally this should have been covered by Flume natively but at least they are exposing the APIs to do this on our own.
Does that mean that there is no way to automate setting Flume to away using this DH/SmartApp? I don’t really need to see all the Flume info in the ST app, but it would be nice to set Flume to away when my ST is set to away and be notified of any flow during that time.
The Stream labs away/home has specific api feature. Based on the following awayLeak : Generated when the homeAway mode is set to away and water flows for more than 15 seconds. from this link
Versus the flume api that doesn’t have away/home setting so no way to set it to away mode and kick off 15 seconds interval monitoring.
The Flume implementation is dependent on the default alerts and custom alerts you configured first through the Flume app. Using the front end/Flume app the alerts can be based on gpm above x for y minutes ( y** = 4 minutes versus 15 seconds on the Streamlabs implementation)
You can create automations that will kickoff when the device reports wet condition** and away mode using webcore.
s0nniez implementation above added a backend query that will report lastminute usage so using webcore you can do away mode automations if you need shorter interval than what the Flume app currently allows.
Thanks! I completely missed the fact that the Flume app doesn’t have an away mode (mind boggling!). But I am glad to hear this can be done using webCore. I will start mucking around, but if anyone has any sample pistons, that would be greatly appreciated.
I’m using the classic smartthings app. You don’t really need webcore unless you want the lastminute usage alert.
With classic app you can get notifications using the ‘Smart Home Monitor’ by adding the leak sensor to your Leaks monitoring or using the ‘Notify Me When’ smartapp and choose ‘Water Sensor Wet’ option. I have no clue how an alert would work on new app someone that uses that might chime in with answer.
You can also use ‘Lighting automation’ to control zwave water valve + wet condition and have the rule only apply when away.
I have a WET condition on the Flume but in the actual flume app the notification is not there I cleared it several days ago? How do I clear in within Smartthings ? The new app.
