in the Display 5.0, and the the Reading at this moment makes error

Thats not to hard to find out.
I guess you have this device, right?

If you scroll down, there is a user manual:

And in there I found this:

So I guess it is just the firmware version and can be ignored.

Now, the tricky part:
AIOTED do not have functionality to detect multifunctional displays.
All you can do is to disallow neg. flow (which you already have), and a tight max rate.

the problem is
i got a lot of flows with error
after 30-60 minutes it got a new value and then its ok
so long to the next 5.0 display

@schnuller123 take a look there #3389 (comment)

@SybexX This IMO has nothing to do with the alignment!
@schnuller123 Do you see a pattern when the 5.0 gets shown? Is it periodic? According to the manual, it is part if the selftest. But there is no information if it is run periodically.
To improve the reading, set the interval to a higher rate, eg. 2 minutes, then you have a highter chance of valid readings.

@caco3 Please read the content first and see what the user intends to do with it. Then you will probably have a different opinion.
