There are some meters that output pulses that could be read, but there'd have to be software written to implement.

Is there a good one that Home Assistant uses? maybe zigbee or Z-Wave?

For now, I didn't install a meter with my water piping changes. I did reconfigure valves so I can redirect the pool autofill and/or the sprinklers to either meter. In my city, they have gone to smart meters, so they know how much water you are using daily. Normally I don't like big brother watching, but they did alert me to a water heater that was leaking after a couple of days of continuous water use. Fortunately, it was leaking out the vent pan outside, and I was able to isolate and fix.
I may look at it again now that there are systems like Flume that just attach onto the pipe, .vs. an additional meter installation. I am not as concerned with the exact water amount as I am that something has changed (i.e. pool leak, etc.) Will think about it for a while, and let everyone know if I came up with a solution.
I have a Neptune T-10 meter that seems to use rtl_433 to report to big brother.

Probably could come up with something listening to the rtl signa...
but as you say, may be better to just pay a little more and get a Flume.
Flume2 seems to just rubber band to your meter...

Could probably add it to home assistant to be queried by the CQC home assistant driver kludge I made.
