AI-on-the-edge-device VS http-adapter

This is what I am using for this exact purpose: https://github.com/jomjol/AI-on-the-edge-device

Anyway, in case decoding the radio traffic gets you nowhere, this works reasonably well.

I was looking for a way to collect readings of our water clock and stumbled upon this (https://github.com/jomjol/AI-on-the-edge-device) interesting hw/sw project to aquire data from old measuring devices (water, power, gas,...) with tflite and ocr.

I think this would be better https://github.com/jomjol/AI-on-the-edge-device. It's esp camera with ai detection for water meters, I use it also as monitoring for electricity.. the new firmware has HA support over mqtt. It's more diy but once you set it up it works like a charm.

I'd use WebThingsIO (as that's what I have for my IoT network at home) with its HTTP adapter https://github.com/tim-hellhake/http-adapter to add data (optionally later on using a RPi 0 and computer vision) to configure 3 Things and a Grafana dashboard for display thanks to https://github.com/tim-hellhake/prometheus-bridge .
