The Problem

Raw Value is 1 m³ too small. Despite the Recognized Values are correct, the Raw Value is calculated "one less" (see attached picture)

Had the same issues and I was also becoming crazy to understand how to fix
Try changing the size/position of ROI of one or two pixels and see if it changes

I can add, that I have it the other way around...
So the raw value is correct 0965.02911, however it keeps reporting 966.02911.

Not sure whats happening since it does that.

Meanwhile, I have

  • wiped the SD Card and re-written the 15.5.0 files on it (edited the wlan.ini, of course),
  • gone through the installation routine (initial setup of alignment, ROIs etc),
  • executed another OTA Update with the 15.5.0 update file

Yet, no change.

Instead of 1017, it still shows 1016.

On a short test with recent rolling before 15.5, I also realized this. But at this time it seems that it was only wrong on my side.

Checking recent PRs show there was a larger change in post-processing strategy recently and I assume it's related to this: #2778

In my opinion it's either a bug in logic or the behaviour of parameter Analog/Digital Transition Start is totally different.

@Knallochse

I can also confirm this problem with version 15.5.0

@Kornelius777

To me, it appears as if this behaviour only exists when you first start version 15.5.0.
After the initial start, I accepted the reading being 1 m³ too low, adjusted the Previous Value accordingly.
After the watermeter showed approximately 1 m³ consumption, all of a sudden, the value jumped to the correct reading.
Once more, I confirmed the Previous Value (which now was the correct one).
No hickup since.
Just the initial start was quite "rumbly".

I might have the same problem. Digit x1m3 is sometime recognized correctly as 8 and in some cases as 7...

I have the same problem, worked correctly before.

This discussion in the change #2778 is only about early transition, late transition is ignored??

The last digital digit remains a little low (e.g. 2 recognized as 1.9).
But the analog digits have well passed 0, and there is no correction upwards),

digits = { 2.0, 5.0, 1.9};
analogs = { 0.8, 8.8, 9.9, 0.1};
expected = "252.090";
wrong result: 251.090!!

I implemented this change. I have to admit, that I experienced the same issue with late transition and a hanging digit, similar to what you describe. I'll have a look into it.

@gec75 How did you set your "Analog/Digital Transition Start" value? I have tested your values with 9.2, then it seems to work.

It was by default 9.2, I also tried with other values...

Thank you very much !
I noticed yesterday that this issue seems to be caused by the Post-Processing "Decimal-Shift":

Decimal-Shift = 3: 777124.1
Decimal-Shift = off: 778.1241 <- thats the correct value !

I reproduced this 3 times in a row by enabling / disabling the Decimal-Shift.

Update: okay I see, you are using a shift of 3

I'm using 3, getting liters (instead of m^3).

Very much true... I use FHEM and have disabled device logging for temporary testing purposes. Will switch back to decimal-shift = 3 when issue is solved to get liters reported again.

@gec75 I definitely have the ambition to fix this bug. Sure, I's a workaround to disable the conversion to liters, but it's not a proper solution.

I have the same behavior with decimalshift active but 0.
Tried to disable it, no change. Came directly from 15.4.

Recognized correctly but shows m^3 - 1

I also have the problem that the read value before the decimal point is 1 too high compared to the raw value. The raw value is correct.
I have set the decimal shift to -3 because my counter also displays the first 3 digits after the decimal point as a digital value. Only the 4th digit after the decimal point is analogue.

Same issue here: The digits before the decimal point are digital, the digits after the decimal point are analogue. The last digital value is always read correctly, but the RAW value is one number too low.
Tried disabling "Decimal Shift" and "Analog/Digital Transition Start" with the same result.

What is weird is that sometimes it does work (without me changing anything in between) since the "Previous value" is increasing time to time. See log below:

@gec75 I could reproduce your problem, if decimalShift != 0. I could also fix it locally.

I'll provide a PR.

@FrankCGN01 Could you please provide the full screenshot, including the single digits and how they are recognized?

rainman110 added a commit to rainman110/AI-on-the-edge-device that referenced this issue Feb 11, 2024
The main reason was a wrong digital / analog sync,
if decimal shifts were != 0.

Also fixed hanging digits for late transition, which
happened at my own installation only.

Also reverted back to the improved unit test system of Slider0007,
which seemed to be mistakenly overwritten by someone.

@rainman110 This is my current configuration. I also updated to the developer version about 1 hour ago. But as I said, since my counter has jumped from 4 to 5 at the first digit after the decimal point, I occasionally only have a "Neg. Rate" error.

@FrankCGN01 I looked at your data. The recognized / inferred numbers seem to be strange.

Please look at line 2024-02-11T04:57 and compare it with the next one. In fact, the meter shows less. My changes do not affect the recognition part, only the post processing, that combine digital and analog values.

It seems, that the last digit cannot be correctly recognized, probably due to the line that goes through the last number. I could imagine, that it could help adding these values to the training set.

@penapena I can reprocuce the bug. Your analog value is behaving wierd though. Can you provide, at which first analog values the last digit start and ends changing from 4->5? The strange thing is, that the digit is already changing, while the analog is pretty small. It's exactly the same as in my home actually. In my case, I need to adapt the Analog to Digital Transition value.

That's why I have the Digit ROI higher up on the Y-axis.

Have tested the developer version and now its using the right value. But the overall picture quality is more blurred then before. The version 15.6 delivered a stable correct recognition beside it was using the wrong value but the new developer version is struggeling recognition because of a worser image quality as before.

I have the same problem after updating to Release 15.6.0.
However, the raw value is only false (least significant digit of the digital section) when the analog recognition is used.
My other devices (electricity meter, gas meter) show a correct raw value.

Not sure if it's the same issue here, using the test/dev version and reading have fluctuated the whole day without any water usage. And just before the screenshot the last digit was reading 8.9 and then it changed to 9. But ask you can see on the analogue, we still need to use 200L before it's a "9"

This is most likely a different issue, please make sure the Reference marks are as far apart as possible and have good contrast.

Hi guys, I do have those readings and I do not undestand them:

sb1
sb2

Every time that the fractions digit goes from 9 to 0, the readings are without the leading 0. Is this the correct behaviour?
Could the missing 0 affect the values seen in Home Assistant like this? There is a helper that transforms cubic meters to liters and shows the values in HA but they are negative.

sb3

Also the main value should be 301 instead of 300. Maybe my meter is not so good and the digits are not changing full but the recognition should "see" 301 in this case.

Release: v15.7.0 (Commit: 0d0b018+)

Any help is much apprecitated, thank you in advance!

@gabimal Is there a reason why you don't let all digits evaluate as one complete number?
So you probably won't get rid of your problem.
Let all digits be processed as one number and simply use Decimal Shift to add the comma.

@SybexX thank you for your quick answer! At one point I was thinking to use all digits as one number as you mentioned but I was unsure how it will behave. In this case the decimal shift will be -3?

LE: I have added another 3 digits and got 6 in total:

@gabimal yes, exactly -3 is correct.
Since your counter apparently also counts down, you also have to activate "Allow Negative Rate".

I'm not sure I understand what you are saying by meter counting down. It's a water meter that counts only up.

Hi!
I'm also not sure how these raw values are calculated, as the recognition values look good to me.
However, the raw value's decimals show something completely different than i expect, and I have no idea why.
The "Decimal-Shift" was set to 0, and unchecking the box had no effect.

Could someone help, or is this the bug?
Thanks!

@SybexX Thanks for the quick response!
I read the article before, and my Analog/Digital Transition Start is still set to 9.2 (default).
However, I'm still unsure what kind of transitions this water meter makes since I've only monitored it for a few hours so far.
I'll propably try a Transition setting between 6 and 8 in the morning.
Based on the image, does it look like an early transition to you, or is that something we can even see on the watercount i have? I'm not really familiar with reading water meters, to be honest. I thought it was a normal transition, but there also hasn't been so much water flow since I set it up.

SybexX commented Sep 12, 2024

@Hausi91 Always reduce the value gradually, e.g. 9.2 > 9.0 > 8.8 > 8.6.........
My water meter behaves similarly and a value of 9.0 works very well for me.

Hausi91 commented Sep 13, 2024

@SybexX Thanks! As soon as I reduced the "Analog/Digital Transition Start" to 9, I'm much closer to the values I expect. Thank you very much. You're the man!
