Installation

Questions about installing and configuring a Fluksometer.

Re-Installation issues

Hi,

A few weeks ago I acquired the Flukso and installed it immediately using only sensor port 4. Just before my holiday I activated sensor 5 including the wiring as I expected solar panels to be installed during my absence. Only 2 days later (before installing the panels) all broke down.... It stopped uploading my data to the flukso server.

I already spent two evenings trying to figure out what is wrong and today I took the Flukso, decoupled the wiring (pulled it out of the flukso socket) and decided to imitate everything I did the first time.....

However no succes: the server sync and server ping do not work..... strange enough the moment I connect my flukso to the laptop I loose my (wifi)connection for http-traffic. (Spotify continues to play...) That is probably the reason for the server sync/ping fail.)

Does this ring a bell to anyone?

In addition; when I go the configuration page and have the flukso rescan for wifi networks, then none are discovered while there are many networks in the near surroundings. Using the toggle does not help.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Greetz,

Powerline adaptor alternative to wifi and hardwire

Hi All
I have a second installation at my rental house however it has consistently been erratic frequently dropping its connection to flukso etc (globe out) however wifi still solid. Sometimes it's up for a week + and others its every 1-2-3 days.....was frustrating. Luckily it's located just around the corner from me so I'd pop over and pull the plug and let it reboot and reconnect etc.

I've put it down to very low wifi signal about 21db (with the meter box open) combined with the additional 6+ wifi network in the area all in the 95db range.
The meter box is doing a really good job at attenuating/shielding my wifi signal.

I was considering a wifi extender however these can reduce your network performance, installing a dedicated hard wire connection was also out (I'm too lazy) so I opted for power line adapter solution and purchased a Netcomm Powerline adapter kit NP204. $90AUD

Install was easy.
These adapters have an AC pass through socket so you can utilize the power outlets you are currently using for your router and the fluksometer. The kit even includes two one meter ethernet cables, one for connection between one powerline adaptor and your router and the other to connect the other powerline adapter to your fluksometer.
I had the fluksometer back up and running in minutes after I remembered I had to toggle the Flukso to ethernet.

The system has only been back up for a number of hrs so I'll report back in a week or so with some feedback but this seems to be a good alternative to wifi or deciated hard wiring in difficult installations.

WLAN Key Change

After a WLAN key Change (my new Android device couldn't handle 32char passwords) I forgot my flukso (shame on me). To make things worse, the flukso rebooted days before I recognized the error. As I understood it right, the flukso discards all data before time sync took place.
In short, I have two missing days of data (which is ok), but the total energy consumtion for three days (8th to 10th of may) is negative.
Is there a simple way to fix this?
