Gas Metering Device - Sensor Housing for Reed Switch

Introduction

This is a housing for a gas metering sensor device using a reed switch. It may be used together with Gas Metering Device - Housing for PCB.

Reed switch

The housing is optimised for a reed switch with glas diameter 1.8 mm and glas length 10 mm. I used Reichelt KSK 1A87 Reed-Kontakt

Printing

Either use the gcode file provided or slice the stl file. 
I used PLA, 3 perimeters and enforced some support of the housing.

After printing, remove the PLA support. Then install the reed switch and the cable as described in the attached pdf file.

Change it to your needs

Don't hesitate to change the housing to your needs. An OpenSCAD file has been attached.

Home automation

This project was influenced by Sebastian's Raspi Zero Housing for BK-G4 Gas Meter (Version 2)

The sensor can be connected to various home automation devices, I plan to use it in an Homematic environment, see Gas Metering.

Use the housing on your own risk.
