Installation

Questions about installing and configuring a Fluksometer.

connect to a hidden wlan

For my home installation, I would like to connect my FLMv2 to my neighbour's WLAN (don't ask why, but take my word for it: with his consent). Basically, I can't change his network configuration. He has a hidden ESSID (which he of course told me), and no encryption.
Since adding the essid in the FLM front-end didn't work, I edited the /etc/config/wireless configuration file and set "hidden" to "1". Restarted the network with /etc/init.d/network restart... unfortunately to no avail.
Does anyone have such a setup & get this to work?

Fluctuations in minute mode

Now that I have the Minute tab working (thanks Roggy!), I find that the reading jumps up and down a lot, even when I know that actual power consumption is constant (or, at least, much more constant than suggested by the reading). I've attached a screen shot of the consumption in Minute mode. I see this up-and-down pattern at all levels of consumption, whether high or low. The reading jumps between high and low with every output. I see the same pattern in the Hour tab, just on a coarser scale.

The fluctuations are large, typically a little more than ±10% of what I assume is the real value.

I'm measuring consumption by monitoring the pulse output of my 3-phase meter (400 pulse per kW/h, that is, 1 pulse for every 2.5 W/h).

Does anyone know what causes these up-and-down readings?

Thanks,

Michi.

Flusko as Access Point

Forwarded port 123 on routers

I am a bit clueless what could be wrong, I am located in the netherlands and as far as I know does my provider not block port 123. (I am using different time servers for other equipment).

Any help is appriciated, thanks

minimum level of Amps that can be measured

What is the measuring range of the Amp sensor?

With a external amp sensor (ABB on multimeter) I'm measuring 400mA output of my PV installation.
And sadly there is no output readable in the syslog of the flukso (latest firmware)
Also changing from input 2 to input 3 gave no response.
The flukso channels itself are ok.
Tested it by moving my main sensor from input 1 to 2 and then 3.
But I don't like to dismount my main sensor to the pv wire due to a very tricky mounting position.
