Installation

Questions about installing and configuring a Fluksometer.

I cannot connect to my flukso (connection refused)

My Flukso has been running fine for some years, but since a few months it was not reporting consumption to pvoutput.org anymore. Finally found time to have a look at the issue. But it seems the problem is even larger.

I could/cannot connect to my flukso on my local LAN, not using http, https not over ssh ... the result is always 'connection refused'.

I did a full reset and reconfigured network settings. On the local 192.168.255.1 page everything is indicated 'OK' - all tests are 'OK'. ... The flukse is reporting in my dash, so internet connection is ok.

But when I want to connect over my LAN network to the flukse, I still get 'connection refused'.
The strangest thing is, I can connect to the mqtt broker over LAN and see the stream of messages.

Does anyone has any clue on what is happening ?

Thanks, Tom

SO metering wiring connections

Hi
I've been using a FLM02B for nearly 8 years now and its still going strong.. I am having my meter upgraded soon and have the opportunity to wire into the SO output of the new meter (EDMI MK7c)
I am hoping someone can help me out here with the connections
These are my choices:

TERMINAL BLOCK 2 connections - Passive
TB2-1 PI1/PO1 SØ Output or 240V/110V/48V/12V/5V Input
TB2-2 PI2/PO2 SØ Output or 240V/110V/48V/12V/5V Input
TB2-3 Common for PI1/PO1 and PI2/PO2

TERMINAL BLOCK 2 connections - Active without relay
TB2-1 PI1/PO1 SØ Output or 240V/110V/48V/12V/5V Input
TB2-2 PI2/PO2 SØ Output or 240V/110V/48V/12V/5V Input
TB2-3 Common for PI1/PO1 and PI2/PO2

TERMINAL BLOCK 4
TB4-1 PI5/PO5 SØ Output or 12V/5V Input or Active Input
TB4-2 PI6/PO6 SØ Output or 12V/5V Input or Active Input
TB4-3 Common for PI5/PO5 and PI6/PO6
One or both inputs may be an active input. Note that active inputs on TB4 is the preferred construction for active inputs.

Thanks in advance!

Flukso V2 probably died

https://photos.app.goo.gl/awBWKMARtLFoWdxF6

On the above video you can see that when the flukso is trying to boot or make a network connection (cable in my case) all the LED's turn of briefly. Then the sequence repeats over and over again.
No data is uploaded to the Flusko server anymore.
No direct connection possible over my home network.

Could it be something with the (internal) power supply that isn't strong enough anymore after more than 8 years of continuous use without major problems.

Anyone had the same experience?

Kind regards,
Bram

Reconnecting the power supply after more than one hour results to nothing. No LED's light up.
Completely dead, RIP Flukso V2.

My flukso is back online. The external power supply unit was dead. The voltage was only 8Vdc in stead of 12Vdc. Using another power supply of 12Vdc solved my problem.

Conclusion my flukso is not dead!

FLO3 though it was my DHCP allocation device...

Had a power outage last night.
Had a lot of trouble shooting to get my wifi network up and running again.
Router, switch resets and interrogations etc
Eventually ran "Fing" and saw that all my normally allocated ip addy's were 192.168.255.xx
in lieu of 192.168.0.xx
My FLO3 had assumed the role of an DHCP server !!
Turned it off, reset routers etc and all came good.
Took about 3 hours of messing around. I have a lot of smart devices and Alexa controlled switches etc.
Just couldn't get a handle on it :((
