Exactly right, mate
That is why I ordered samples and next week or so there will be some prototyping going on here.
I will certainly posted the results and conclusions here.
The only possibly better solution (from power consumption point of view) would be magnetic sensor (the one used in callipers, with 0.01mm resolution. But I could not source them anywhere.
My Chinese connections are not good enough

Keep us posted how is it going mate. As far as I can see this could work with EK box without any modifications, correct me if I am wrong.
