Anyone know where to get a directional ct clamp from? All I have are not directional.
Works fine for hot water or if I had the clamp straight after the inverter but doing net metering it's showing I used the about of power I'm exporting instead of showing it as a negative
Could you define your question more precisely?
The FLM02 is not capable to detect "direction" of a current flowing through a current clamp. It just reads the absolute value of a current flowing as a proportional voltage. What you demand is the more sophisticated measuring method the FLM03 offers, including phase shift and relation to mains voltage. This is out-of-scope of the FLM02.
If you are in a certain circuit you may interpret (sic) the read values of a clamp as "negative", but the incorporated aggregation of the FLM02 does not provide this feature. Actually this is something I implemented in flmlocal, demanding that the corresponding clamp sits where it "sees" a current as produced - https://github.com/gebhardm/flmlocal
yes hoping I can get a clamp that can read it as a negative value and upload as a negative value
To see net metering, u can use PVoutput. They show nice graphics.

I want to use pvoutput but I need a clamp that can show me negative values to upload to the flukso dash then I will grab the data from the api and get it sent to pvoutput.
But with the clamps I currently have (not flukso ones) It doesn't show as a negative value when im exporting more than consuming on the flukso so I can't have it display net on pvoutput
In pvoutput you can change direction under 'Solar' and also 'Extended'.
yeah doesn't help.
being clamped in a net area I need both positive and negative values from the clamp
I didn't know an 'AC' clamp could be directional only with DC ?
Maybe swapping the wires in the clamp connector the so the pulses are not positive together but 180 apart may work?
