Abstract
An apparatus configured to detect gas usage by two or more gas appliances. The apparatus can include a processing module configured to run on a computational unit. The apparatus also can include a sensing unit configured to be coupled to a gas regulator. The sensing unit can include at least one acoustic sensor configured to detect two or more acoustic signals produced by the gas regulator and convert the two or more acoustic signals into one or more first digital acoustic data signals. The sensing unit also can include a transmitter electrically coupled to the at least one acoustic sensor and configured to transmit the one or more first digital acoustic data signals to the computational unit. The processing module can be configured to use the one or more first digital acoustic data signals to determine an individual gas usage by each of the two or more gas appliances coupled to the gas regulator based upon the two or more acoustic signals produced by the gas regulator. Other embodiments are disclosed.
