Questions about installing and configuring a Fluksometer.

Flukso ... Monitor 3 houses with 3 clamps/one Flukso?

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?

Initial configuration: NTP and firewall

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

Flukso start niet meer op na het instellen van de parameters

De Flukso start niet meer op na het instellen van de parameters.
Ik stel de sensors in en wijzig het ip-adres van de lan.
Sla alles netjes op. Alles blijkt te werken totdat ik de FLS spanningsloos maak en terug laat opstarten. Geen heartbeat en geen lan led. Heb de fimware al een keer 4 opnieuw ingelezen en dit lukt perfect. Van het ogenblik ik parameters aanpas en terug opstart niks meer. Heeft iemand een oplossing voor dit probleem?

How come there is a delay in graphs displaying?

Minute tab shows in real time, depending mostly on your Internet connection. The hour tab however can have up to five minutes delay and the day tab can be up to 30 min delayed. Why is this? And when does the month graph update after midnight?
