Hello,

In the end, I figured out a different solution.

Since it involves reading the gas meter in the basement, where there is no permanent lighting, I used a TAPO P110 smart plug. I connected a C200 camera and an LED lamp to it, which illuminates the gas meter’s dial. The smart plug is automatically activated every day at 22:55 and turned off at 23:01. The camera is set to continuous recording every day from 23:00 to 24:00 (a shorter time interval cannot be selected).

Here’s how it works: at 22:55, the camera turns on, connects to WiFi, tests for motion, and aims at the gas meter's dial. Then, at 23:00, it starts recording. At 23:01, the smart plug turns off, stopping the recording. This setup allows me to look up the gas meter reading for any given date.
