Hello,
I had a question about the Syslog on the Flukso internal webpage.
I recalculate my Water consumtion, I have a real relay so I can hear the sound when he is ticking.
I hear 14 times a ticking puls, my water meter give every puls 0.5L.
When I see in the syslog, I see 7 Lines like this.
Jun 11 07:35:50 flukso-b1f56a daemon.info fluksod[6161]: processed pulse e3ea0fd5a38dd0c6b4c75474adcdb80b:1339400150:47951
Is this then True for the flukso website, that this is 7L. I think I must see then 14 Lines of this ?
The Update date time to the flukso website is done very quickly,

But after somtimes more then a half hour, the Dash is not update, it take sometimes more then a half hour ?
Is this normal ? instead of the electricity is update more quickly ?
Thanks for reply'ings.

Hi Sven,
Water and gas ports use one liter as a measurement unit. Fractions of a liter are accumulated until a full liter is consumed, for which a pulse is then generated. This explains why you see 7 entries instead of 14. This means the FLM has counted 7 full liters.
Regarding the update time: for pulse ports, a consumption can only be calculated between two pulses. We cannot make any assumptions between the last pulse and 'now'. So in the case of pulse ports, no consumption means no pulses and thus no line on the chart since the last pulse.
When all water taps are properly closed and you don't have any serious leaks, it can take some time for one liter of water to be consumed.
Cheers,
-Bart.
