I must do something wrong, but I am trying to register water consumption.  
I made an app, with a custom capabilities.

But when I put “insights”: true, Homey saves me an average every 5 seconds, as if it was a temperature …

What I want is to be able to tell him at 7:35 I have consumed 5L of water and at 7:37 17L then at 7:39 3L

I had managed to create an insight (but which was attached to the application, but not to the device) but I can’t do it anymore ??? I don’t remember how I did it … And I erased everything …

Can anyone help me?

forget making your own app. Use an existing app and buy a device to start metering your water:

With the Youless LS120, you have the option to read the P1 & S0 port at the same time. P1 will be connected to the Smart Meter (Electricity and Gas reading) and S0 to water meter sensor. In order to get the correct reading device for your watermeter you can use the following link to select one (Dutch Watermeter overview): …

It’s very nice, but I am already equipped with this type of material:

> **[KIT Serveur W.e.s. v2 - Cartelectronic](https://www.cartelectronic.fr/serveur-wes/120-kit-wes-pinces-amperemetriques-suivi-conso.html)**

> serveur de suivi énergétique RT2012

I have 4 current clamps, relays and lots of other things on it …  
And the interest of Homey, is precisely to be able to develop its own app for its own needs?  
Despite the documentation being fairly well done, it lacks a lot of examples …

The examples are all over github. Just look at the published code of any app that does similar things to what you want to do.
