Installation

Questions about installing and configuring a Fluksometer.

Power jack details

by mr_thingy on

I'm planning to power a Flukso off a DIN-rail power supply, I haven't got the Flukso yet since I need to get some wiring changed first, but I'd need to know in advance what size the power jack is. The manual says it's centre-positive, I assume it's something like a standard 2.1mm jack?

No readings from gas probe

by jghaanstra on

I tried setting up my Fluksometer today without any success. I bought the Flukso to retrieve data from a dutch smart meter but this smart meter isnt installed yet ( it's planned for the 10th of juli). But since I also bought a gas probe for my Elster BK-G4 gas meter I thought I'd set it up just for the gas probe for the time being.

So what I did:

  • Hooked the Flukso to the ethernet port of my laptop
  • Configured my wireless network and changed the firewall settings so the Flukso is accessible through Wifi as well
  • Configured my gas probe sensor on port 4
  • Removed the wires for the P1 smart meter datacable for port 5- and port 6a+b
  • Installed the Flukso near my fusebox and gas meter, right below my wireless router
  • Installed the gas probe sensor and secured the +/- wires to port 4

I can:

  • Access the Flukso wirelessly on a local ip (192.168.0.124)
  • See that my sensor configuration is synced with the Flukso website
  • See that retrieving time and doing a ping test are successful

I can't:

  • See any data on the dashboard on the Flukso website
  • See a distinct heatbeat LED, it does in- and decrease in strength a little bit every second but not sure if this is the full heartbeat it is supposed to be. I would expect a proper blink.
  • Retrieve any data through a local JSON request (http://192.168.0.124:8080/sensor/211a7b.....5332b03a?version=1.0&interva...
  • See a constant heartbeat in the syslog. I only see something about a heartbeat when I save settings but I would expect something here every time data is send to the Flukso website.

So it seems no data is registered from the probe and/or send to the website. I'm pretty sure I have installed the sensor conform the guidelines (laser mark facing up, red in positive of port 4 and black in negative of port 4). I have no clue where to continue getting this to work, so some guidelines would be helpfull. I have attached a log extract from the latest reboot but it doesnt contain much interesting.

[Edit]
This is the syslog after leaving the Fluksometer alone for some time. I see something that looks like a heartbeat but I still dont see data on the dashboard.
