Background
In my country electricity is heavily ‘subsidized’.

Since installing air conditioners the electricity use has increased up to a point where I’ve gone up two tariff groups. Since that point I’ve started monitoring electricity usage the old fashion way: in an excel sheet. Getting rid of an old refrigerator saved me 6 kWh per day!
The average use now is stable at 22-25 kWh per day.

A couple of months ago the electric company announced that it would start increasing the price for businesses to a break-even level. Lucky for me there are elections in May so the government will not increase the price for households (at least until after the elections)
For me that would mean the price per kWh will go from USD 0.029 to USD 0.223 !

To better monitor (and manage) the electric consumption I would like to install FLM but I have a few
Questions

1) The voltage in my country is 127V / 60 Hz. Can I use a FLM?
2) The Electricity meter has a pulse indicator but it is in an enclosure and I’m not sure if the electric company will open it up for me. In that case I have to fall back on clamps.
3) Although the voltage rated at 127V my UPS indicates that is varies between 123 and 129. Will this affect the output of FLM when using a clamp?

All,

I just started considering buying a Flukso installation. I'm very noob to all this stuff, but I would like to see what my consumption of Electricity, Water and Gas is.

So after watching some cool youtube stuff and reading up on the forums I went to the shop.
I've one question (for now :-) ) related to the gas clamp. My gas meter is approx. 10 meters away from the place where I need to install my Fluksometer. There is 2m wire attached to the gas clamp. Now, is it safe to extend this to a length of 10m ? Would that influence measurement accuracy ? Do I need to use a specif type of wire too extend ?

Thanks,

Wish to know why the consumption read out ( daily ) differs significantly from my actual meter reading.
Live in Holland and am using P1 port on a smart meter and am using both the day tariff and night tariff.
Am also interested in knowing where the Flukso takes its reading i.e before the meter as is I asume the case when using clamps, or after the meter.

Thanking you in advance for a quick response this time around.

I have set up the FLM by connecting it directly to my computer using a UTP-cable. Is it possible to adress the set-up screen of the FLM over WIfi using the IP-adress which was assigned to it by my router? It would be useful for adding new sensors without having to reconnect the FLM to my computer with a cable.

It wasn't at all obvious that I had to unplug my computer from the router and connect using a cable directly between that and the Flukso. Until after I'd gone on this forum anyway. You could save a step for 90% of people by simply linking to a forum question where someone asks that. Or even by adding a line to the installation instructions. If that's too much, maybe add "only" or "directly" so the second sentence reads "Connect your computer directly to the FLM's ethernet port."

Also, the config stuff in the device is unnecessarily hostile, saying "Wrong Format. Use either 5/13 ASCII...." in red while I'm typing in the wifi key just seems over the top. Initially I thought "oh, I'm doing it wrong, maybe I should use hex or something" but it turns out that I was doing the right thing, your it's the warning that's wrong.

Finally, when I try to register I get "you are not authorized to access this page" from http://www.flukso.net/user/register and that makes it a bit hard. On the dash is a box saying "add a fluksonian" but there's no add button and hitting enter in that box doesn't seem to add my meter. (https://www.flukso.net/dash#electricity/day)

Having added the meter to my dash, it's getting heartbeat but no readings. I assume that if the sensors are not connected it will be sending zeros, and that no data means there's something else I need to do? Please advise.
