Hi everybody. New on here and I hope you can help me.
I am not an electronics whizz by any stretch of the imagination but I am competent with a soldering iron and basic wiring projects.
I currently run a holiday rental business which requires constant monitoring of the usage of dishwashers and washing machines. Currently we do this by counting the number of dishwasher tablets and quantity of washing powder used but I could really do with something that the guest can see counting everytime the machine is turned on.
First of all i cant find a counter that would do this, where would I look for one? Secondly where would the counter be mounted? Ideally id like to be able to "hard wire" it into the flex coming from the wall socket. Would that work. A flashing LED would be useful aswell, just ot draw there attention to its monitoring.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
