Meter.reset() function not reset totalvolume counter about flowmeter HOT 6 CLOSED

This behaviour is by design, see #1 .

The reset functionality should not void total volume count, because a meter should be tamper proof.

If you want to reinitialize the meter, please do so by explicitly setting the values (see #1).

If you think that this should be improved, please give some context and insight.

void FlowMeter::reset() {
cli(); //!< going to change interrupt variable(s)
this->_currentPulses = 0; //!< reset pulse counter
sei(); //!< done changing interrupt variable(s)
this->_totalVolume = 0.0f; //just added this line now works as expected
this->_currentFrequency = 0.0f;
i added one line at above fuction now works as expected by me

Yes, as I mentioned above, this possibility was discussed in #1.

But do you think this is a feature that's missing in the library?
If so, why?

When we call reset() function in setup function it work like charm.
I use reset() function in loop with if statement ,to trigger relay on or off based on total volume despensed from trigger.
Then I use reset() function. Which reset all current volume not totalvalume.
Total volume count remains as privous value.

Actually, that's what current volume is intended for.

The difference between current volume and total volume is that the former is resettable, the latter is not.
This is by design.

If you intend to trigger a relay based on volume since last reset, isn't that current volume?
In other words: isn't your modification unifying current and total volumes, just making them identical all the time?
