#### Read the Gas Meter using a magnetometer
[Diaphragm/bellows gas meters](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_meter#Diaphragm/bellows_meters) are the most common type of gas meter, seen in almost all residential installations, and their movement can frequently be observed with a magnetometer. The [QMC5883L](https://esphome.io/components/sensor/qmc5883l.html) is a common and inexpensive option that ESPHome supports. A project that makes it easy to use this magnetometer and calibrate it is [this water-gas-meter project on GitHub](https://github.com/tronikos/esphome-magnetometer-water-gas-meter).

If you manually integrate your sensors, for example, using the [MQTT](/integrations/mqtt) or [RESTful](/integrations/rest) integrations: Make sure you set and provide the `device_class`, `state_class`, and `unit_of_measurement` for those sensors.
