Questions about installing and configuring a Fluksometer.

FLM does not hook online after power outage

Today (again) we had a power outage from 14:57 until 15:50; while the SolarLogger went up (so I could detect the interval of power not available), the FLMs (two) did not get into the internet again:

  24. Jan  1 02:15:45 flukso-c13f30 user.err fsync[1258]: fsync exit status: 7, synchronisation with Flukso server failed

I did not do a hard reset before re-saving the config from the web-interface to force a sync; but this also showed a "synchronisation with Flukso server failed"...
@Bart: May you have a look before I do a hard reset on both? (this account's FLM is re-powered; gebhardm2 is in the condition after the outage)
The same behavior applies to both my FLMs in the same manner - so they seem to not really like "forced power down" situations; maybe they don't like when the internet modem is not up fast enough...
Strange...

Multiple wires into one clamp?

I read several times that people had to re-wire their fusebox, because otherwise the PV input vs main consumption cannot be measured in a correct way. Now I want to ask a stupid question maybe (I don't know anything about electricity... ;-)). If you have multiple wires coming out of your ELCB, can you put those in 1 clamp? Since I want to read the consumptoin coming through all of these wires (they go to individual fuse boxes), logically this should be OK. But I'm just wondering if this physically would work...

Tx,
J.

Flukso time 20min behind

My Flukso clock is running 20min behind, I saw it in live view (electricity) and that my heater starts at 6:10 (according to Flukso), but actually it starts at 6:30.
But in the Flukso settings I can't find a clock adjust/clock sync setting? How can I adjust the clock?
