This is a custom bracket to mount the ESPHome based Muino Water Meter Reader securely to an Itron Aquadis+ or similar meter, using the built in mounting tabs of the water meter.
No damage is done to the water meter and the readout remains visible through the cutout, so no need to do a yearly removal to check the value.

Printed in PLA, 0.2mm layer height and no supports. Do not print too hot to avoid the thread on the stud to sag. An M4 washer and nut can be used to secure the PCB to the bracket.
To install the bracket:
- Snap the bracket into the meter from the left, making sure it locates around the raised circle in the middle of the meter.
- Visually check the sensor opening is aligned with the meter's dial. Optionally run the tap a little to verify the dial is centered in all three openings around the perimeter. See included photo for an example.
- Install the Muino PCB and secure with the M4 washer and nut.
- The WiFi antenna can be secured with the clip on top of the bracket.
- If there are any light sources around the meter, cover the entire assembly with a light blocking bag to minimize potential outside interference on the signal.
- Follow the installation guide on https://watermeter.muino.nl/ for the software configuration steps.
