Digital digit is not recognized (Value 40N)

[Disane87]

The Problem

My water meter shows a value of 406,01 but the recognition only shows 40N

Version

v12.0.1

Expected Behavior

No response

Screenshots

Additional Context

I realy don't know which info I can give you to track this down at the moment. So I would like to ask you if you need some additional debug logs I can give them to you.

Currently its recognizing the 6 as a 0:

First of all the image below shows a false reading ("6" --> 0). This can happen in this intermediate states. Nothing to do, but wait.

In the case of the first picture, the topic is different, there is a "N", which should be, because the 6 is already moving out. Why the algorithm for the replacement of the "N" is not working is unclear from this info. Please support with the config.ini and the logfile during this failure.

Ok :)

[jomjol]

Thanks for the info. Here the disable CheckDigitIncreaseConsistency is the problem. In your configuration it would be benefical to turn it on. Because then it realises, that the last analog value has gone throug a zero crossing and increases the replaced N by +1

[Disane87]

Thank you for this hint! Just set that option. Will keep watching it and report back if that helps or not :)

[caco3]

@Disane87 Can you give an update? I guess since you didn't write for a while it is working now as expected? 😄

[Disane87]

@caco3 Actually I totally forgot to check this. But I just saw it got a pretty high value in the past:

So I have a chance to reset it to the correct value? Do I need to set the prevalue?

[caco3]

yes prevalue is what you need to reset

[Disane87]

Thank you! I reset the value but it's currently "broken" again, but with lower values:

try with a different digital model

[Disane87]

I guess this can be considered as closed. I saw my esp had the new version already but with old models, not with models stated at your wiki e.g. dig-[class/cont]XXX_.....tflite. I only had ana1000s2.tflite and dig1400s2q.tflite.

I uploaded the "new" models and assigned them to the digital and analog readings. If something else won't work as expected, I would create a new issue for that :)

Thank you for your help!
