Questions about installing and configuring a Fluksometer.

Guys,

How long would it take to gather data and upload it to the flukso server?
I k=just installed my secondary flukso and I have not seen data.

Thank You!

Clamp placement with a PV installation

Hi all,

I am trying to correctly install the FLM and played around with some of the clamps and have some problems finding the right wires. I have a single phase and a grid connected PV installation.

1. The clamp around the PV wire reads a constant of around 50-60 watt at night. I suppose the PV converter uses energy, even at night. If so, is it worth trying to turn it off at night and back on every morning to limit it's consumption?

2. See attached graph. The red graph is the main power. The blue graph is the clamp around the PV wire. There is no change in the usage in the house in this interval. What is shows is the electricity generated by the PV installation feeded back to the grid.

Is it possible to connect the main clamp somewhere so that it does not measure the electricity generated by the PV? I would like to see the energy I use, not the energy I generated minus the one used (which is what I suppose I am looking at).

Thanks!

Reading drops when running motors

I have a new Fluksometer connected to two sensors, Mains and Solar panels (inverter output). I have just noticed that when running motors, one the pool pump and the other an AC unit, the values displayed actually drop when the motor is started. I assume I am doing something wrong. Anyone have any ideas??

Account level token

I hope i'm not getting blind, but I've troubles finding out my account level token for the REST calls (no problem finding the sensor level token on the dash btw). Anybody know where to look?

From manual: Account-level token A token is also made available to each account, which
you can regard as an API key. This single token allows you to access data
of all devices and sensors associated with your account.
