re: Flume water meter monitor

Pipe diameter is a constant.
I don't know much about engineering but is max flow rate a constant even under different pressure?
Calculating the movement of water under the sensor is the tricky thing to me.
If a smart faucet can reliably deliver precisely 1 cup of water every time there must be a simple sensor somewhere.
I'm overthinking this for sure but the movement of water through the pipe is what I don't get. How can an external sensor get that data unless it's "stealing" it from the existing meter somehow.

Pretty sure it picks up signals from the meter, it's not measuring the water flow itself.

When water flows through a household water meter, a magnetic disc spins inside of the meter, which correlates directly to a water flow rate. The Flume sensor measures the magnetic field from the meter and sends the information to an app via a Flume bridge
