I have a technical room in my flat where I have (among other things) two meters counting the use of hot and cold water.
To automate the task of reading these counters I want to use a Raspberry PI model 3 with a camera module, controlling the process from an app on my Android phone - or from my Linux PC as well.
The two meters are placed in the inner part of the room, and because I'm a little short of space in my flat I need to put up a wall (to be easily removed when needed) so that I could use the rest of the room for storing goods.
To be able to read the meters after setting up the walls I need some sort of light source connected to my rp model 3 (preferably using the GPIO-contact) which could be controlled by software.
Does anyone know about a ready-made solution which I could use ? I don't want to use much time to make something of my own.. :-)
