Installation

Questions about installing and configuring a Fluksometer.

1 clamp instead of 3

Is it possible to use 1 clamp instead of 3 when you know that the load is the same on each phase?
per example a motor!

Specs Analog Input

Hi,

This is my first post in the forum. I've been looking for a solution but didn't found anything so I've opened a new thread. There is my problem:

I'm thinking about recording temperature with one of the flukso analog inputs, so I need to know input requirements in order to find a sensor that suits on the flukso. Does someone know the specs of the analog inputs (Input type, voltage or current range...), please?

Thank you!

Solar and Generation metering with DIN rail meters - weird values

So folks I have a Flukso meter connected to two DIN-rail meters with pulse output in the meter box. One meter monitors consumption and the other monitors the power coming from the solar inverter.

Data is coming out fine, except that my consumption is closely following my solar generation.

See here: http://pvoutput.org/intraday.jsp?id=13740&sid=12392

It seems that generation is getting seen as consumption. When generation exceeds consumption, the consumption meter reads "reverse current" on its external panel but I'm assuming it's still generating pulses.

Right now, the solar output feeds into the output side of the consumption meter. Should I feed the solar output to the input side of the consumption meter? Or is there a programmatic change I can make to have the data calculated correctly?

I'm sure the answer is simple...but I'm very confused at the moment.

Do I need 2 Flukso Meters ?

Hi.
I have a couple of questions hoping somebody can help:

1. I have 3 Phase electricity coming into my home but my Inverter is only single phase.
Do I need to purchase 2 Fluksometers and 4 clamps (1 for each phase - clamped to my consumption side and 1 clamp for the solar leg) ?

2. Can I send the data up to pvoutput and graph solar and consumption ?

Thanks.

Flukso v2b on P1, no pulses at all.

Recently my smart meter has been installed. It took some time to get the meter working properly as the energy supplier hadnt deployed it correctly and all usage was registered on the night tariff (including the pv output). For a few days now it's actually showing the correct usage for day and night tariffs so I decided to hook up my Flukso v2b and start reading our energy usage. I have had the Flukso for a while and only used it for a short time to read out the previous gas meter with a probe. This all worked perfectly.

What I have done so fas is plug in the phone jack of the data cable in the P1 port of the smart meter (Iskra ME382) and disable sensor 1 to 5 as the P1 port should be recognized automagically. This didnt result in any pulses being registered. It just showed the heartbeat every 15 min. in the log. Strange thing I did noticed after connecting the phone jack is that the Flukso would reboot at least every 3 hours or so. When this happens there is something in the log about a user nobody that logged in. With the data cable unplugged again from the smart meter it does not do this. So for some reason connecting to the P1 port results in reboots of the Flukso. In another topic I read that the data cable supplied with the Flukso was faulty so I also created another one from a (working) phone data cable. This resulted in the same behaviour, no pulses and random reboots of the Flukso with a maximum uptime of a couple of hours.

Oh, I don't think it's relevant but just to be sure. I edited the firewall so I can access the Flukso through Wifi.

I really have no clue where to continue from here so it would be great if someone could help me out so I can finally get this up and running. Below is a clean syslog from right after a manual reboot. I will add a log where with a heartbeat and a random reboot later in the next post.
