Installation

Questions about installing and configuring a Fluksometer.

Realtime charting is not available on this Fluksometer. If you have an FLM02, then please upgrade to the latest firmware release

I have a new FLUKSO with serial number starting with FLO2, so I presume I have a FLM02. I am not very techno. I am not receiving any data on the internet and the globe LED is not on. When I click on the electricity tab on flukso it give me the following message: Real-time charting is not available on this Fluksometer. If you have an FLM02, then please upgrade to the latest firmware release on the my account -> devices page. How do I upgrade to the latest firmware release? I couldn't find a my account or devices page. Thanks. Mark

How much time data can be bufferised in FLM before loosing data

In the goal of reducing my electrical consumption, I think at shutting off my adsl modem at night.

Will the FLM keep all measured data in buffers and push all data to Flukso.net at reconnection?
What is the buffer limit?

upload to pvoutput

Hi, I have 2 pulse sensors running, workshop & house, unfortunately pvoutput only has one input for consumption. How can I combine these two feeds to show total consumption there?

Globe LED doesn't light up

I have FL03001734 at home, and I configure my Wifi, but the Globe LED doesn't light up. On the sensor page it also states "synchronisation with Flukso server failed". I also can't register the unit under settings -> devices, it keeps asking for a valid serial number. I had actually tried this unit (and another one) at work today, and both failed in the same manner. I have successfully configured Flukso's both at home and work before. Any ideas?

Monitoring DC PV input

I'm looking at buying a Fluksometer to monitor energy generated by a PV array and energy used in an off grid house. Appears most monitoring of PV output is done post-inverter (in my case at 230VAC).

From what I can see if I monitor the PV array post-inverter and the house consumption I'll have 2x sensors on the same wire!

What I'm trying to do is monitor PV production, pre-inverter/charger and consumption post inverter. Hopefully then I should be able to measure PV output, calculate MPPT/battery charging/inverter efficiency, and monitor/minimise energy usage.

So to make this really simple - is there a clip on clamp or pulse output KW/hr meter I can use to measure a DC current at a variable voltage? Any help much appreciated!
