Pfttt ... I thought installing a flukso was a walk in the park as ITPro ... man I was wrong . Couldn't get the globe to come on , until I changed the ntp server to use ntp.telenet.be:123 instead of the default configured value.
After 4 h of searching , that was the root cause ( flukso - You could do a better job here )
Now I see my device online and the sensors in my page , however I can't get data to show up in the dashboard . I have no clue what's wrong . I clearly see in the mqtt data being collected .
Can someone shine a light in the dark ?

There seems currently a server issue preventing any readings to be shown... Thus, stay tuned and don't give up too fast ;-)
By the way: The ntp daemon heads for the standard openwrt pool (see /etc/config/system or the process overview), so this has nothing to do with the flukso by itself...
Welcome to the wonderful world of TCP/IP, where nothing is at it seems, where everything has its place and where is a place for everything - and anything can happen (freely adapted from Frankie goes to Hollywood, Rage Hard, 12" version)
Thank you for the answer ... And I don't want to say flukso is bad in any way , just something that can be improved as a first experience for telenet customers ... very frustrating as things are sometimes not plug and play.
Stupid of Telenet not to open ntp on port 123 ( what could go wrong here :-( ), but flukso could add the telenet timeserver in 1 of the 4 entries as this is a major provider on Belgium .
I am an ITPro ( windows ) . Linux is my dark side of things :-) Got putty skills now :-)
Please let me know when the backend is up and running again ..

@KennyBuntinx Not sure why the outgoing NTP port would be blocked by your provider. I'm using the same ISP and never experienced any issues. Corporate firewalls OTOH tend to just block every outgoing port, except for HTTP(S) traffic. We'll update the docs with the list of TCP/UDP ports required by the FLM.
The server issue has been solved.
