MySensors Energy Meter Pulse Sensor
/**
* The MySensors Arduino library handles the wireless radio link and protocol
* between your home built sensors/actuators and HA controller of choice.
* The sensors forms a self healing radio network with optional repeaters. Each
* repeater and gateway builds a routing tables in EEPROM which keeps track of the
* network topology allowing messages to be routed to nodes.

* REVISION HISTORY
* Version 1.0 - Henrik EKblad
*
* DESCRIPTION
* This sketch provides an example how to implement a distance sensor using HC-SR04
* Use this sensor to measure KWH and Watt of your house meeter
* You need to set the correct pulsefactor of your meeter (blinks per KWH).
* The sensor starts by fetching current KWH value from gateway.
* Reports both KWH and Watt back to gateway.
*
* Unfortunately millis() won't increment when the Arduino is in
* sleepmode. So we cannot make this sensor sleep if we also want
* to calculate/report watt-number.
