# jomjol/AI-on-the-edge-device > Turns analog utility meters (water, gas, electricity) into digital ones using an ESP32-CAM: the camera photographs the readings and TensorFlow Lite recognizes the digits on-device. Data is exposed via MQTT, InfluxDB or REST API. - Magnitude: 0.7 out of 10 — Steady - Stars: 8,803 total · +1 star on 2026-09-25 (UTC), ≈ 3 by evening - Star trust: star growth looks organic - Category: Hardware, IoT & robotics · Language: C++ · Created: 2020-07-28 · Last push: 2026-07-03 - GitHub: https://github.com/jomjol/AI-on-the-edge-device · Homepage: https://jomjol.github.io/AI-on-the-edge-device-docs/ · Page: https://gitnova.dev/en/r/jomjol/AI-on-the-edge-device ## Useful for - Connect an old water meter to Home Assistant via MQTT - Log electricity meter readings into InfluxDB for graphs - Read a gas meter remotely through the REST API ## Why it’s here - 1 star so far today, about 3 expected by the end of the day. ## Star trust Star growth looks organic. Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer. ## Numbers - Forks: 914 - Issues and pull requests: 2,817 - Watchers: 147 - Average over the last week: 4 per day - Usual pace: 9 per day - Latest release: v16.1.0 (2026-01-11) ## Stars per day, last 30 days (oldest → newest, today is partial) 2026-09-30 … 2026-10-29: None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None ## Magnitude by day, last 13 days 09-13 3.1, 09-14 3.8, 09-15 2.5, 09-16 1.3, 09-17 1.3, 09-18 1.0, 09-19 0.9, 09-20 0.9, 09-21 0.8, 09-22 1.1, 09-23 1.1, 09-24 0.7, 09-25 0.8 --- Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score. Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast. Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
