anyone using the RS485 port for anything yet? any tips for watching traffic on the port?

My time is all ways displayed on UTC. Can it be changed to CDT -6?

TIA!

Hi Everyone!

Future flukso buyer here, I've asked David, the Australian Flukso stockist this question - but perhaps you blokes might also be able to advise!

Can one Flukso with three clamps be appropriate for the situation below?

Background: I want to buy one to help my Mum keep an eye on the power use of a rental property with three separate meters (and for her 3 different tenants to be able to see their own use and self-regulate).

Basically, it's one property, but it's subdivided into three separate rentals with separate bills (three separate external power metres installed).

Am I correct in my understanding that I can buy the FLM02 Fluxometer, and, reading the FAQ which says "An FLM02 can either measure up to three independent single-phase circuits" - I can use that one Fluxometer with a clamp on each separate meter (of which there are 3) to report three different / separate power usage statistics and thus keep approximate tabs on how much power each tenant is using?

If so, that would be fantastic! I'm pretty sure 3 phase is not installed ... Hoping this might be the right fit!

I'm not an electricity genius, sadly! But would be appreciative of any advice.

Cheers!

Would a measuring transmitting unit (MTU) work with flukso v2?
TIA.

Hi,

I have been configuring my Fluskometer to perform all network communications via the wired ethernet adapter. Nothing goes over the wireless ethernet adapter that I have disabled. As I am running my own DHCP and DNS server in my network, I have disabled dnsmasq in /etc/rc.d and put my DNS server's IP address in /etc/resolv.conf. In my setup the Fluksometer is behind a firewall that protects the device from access from the internet, so actually I could disable the firewall on the Fluksometer as well, but I have not done that (yet). What I was wondering is whether I have to open any ports on my firewall to make the Fluksometer sync with the Flukso web site. In the config of the Fluksometer firewall I can see that on the WAN side, the ports 5353 and 8080 are opened. What is the purpose of this? Also, I see that the Fluksometer is configured in the UTC time zone in /etc/config/system. This makes its clock of my Fluksometer not run correctly as I am not in that time zone. I cannot find the way to change it via the web interface. Can I just change it in /etc/config/system? Will it take into account the wintertime/summertime clock shift?

Kind regards
