Installation

Questions about installing and configuring a Fluksometer.

Newbie questions

Just installed a 4kW solar panel system and am considering buying a Fluksometer for monitoring. I understand that with a basic config, I would get a single unit with two sensors (one sensor for overall power usage, one for the solar/inverter circuit). But I have a number of other circuits which are heavy electricity users.

What I would really like to do is monitor:
* overall power consumption
* solar power system generation
(would want to know when solar generation exceeds consumption, thereby confirming Exported electricity)
* spa circuit usage
* 2 x aircon circuits

Given those extra requirements, am I right in concluding that I will need 2 x Fluksometers (one with 3 sensors, one with 2 sensors)?

Given all those sensors, will I be able to generate a coherent set of reports that correctly identify when I am Importing power from the grid and when I am Exporting power?

Other people's graphs

In installed my Flukso this afternoon and it's working great. Installation was a no brainer, great for a piece of hardware that needs to be connected in the fuse box.

Still, I read you can compare your graphs with other people's graphs. Checked the privacy settings and I share my data so that should be good. How can I overlay my graph with other graphs? Do I need a minimum amount of data to do so?

Thanks again.

powering off router and turning back on again, will Flukso start up again.

Hello
Tonight I turned off my netgear router and then back on again and the flukso has not made a conection back to the wifi network (globe led not on) Will it connect automatically after a certin time?

It will connect again if I go out to the power meter and turn fluksos power off then back on. Should I have to do this??

Cheers Brad.

2 flukso's on the same wifi network

2 flukso's on the same wifi network ..... would this be any problem .... should it work OK?

THANKS

3 phase not measuring correctly.

Hello
I have just set up my Flukso and it seem to be working fine on small loads but when I turn on my A/C (big 3 phase unit) the power measurment seem way to high.
Will I have to set the line voltage to a lower value?

I live in Australia and we have 240 volts and our 3 phase is 415 volts. Has the fact when my A/C is on it is using all phases at 415 volt divided by 3. Will that cause it to show a high reading?

Thanks Brad.
