Installation

Questions about installing and configuring a Fluksometer.

Flukso presumbly connected but no sensor data

Hi Guys,

I brought a flukso and it's been a massive pain.

I've been able to log into it via ethernet and that's been fine, I've setup the wifi and associated it with my AP fine.

I've got 2 50amp clamps, one is set to the solar the other to the main electrical and I've got them on ports 1 and 2 respectively.

I've enabled both sensors on the ports page...

Current clamp ports 3
Number of phases 1 (assuming so being a residential house)
both sensors set to enabled with 240 voltage.

On the status page however I'm getting the following error....

12/1/2014, 10:14:32 AM
Status

sensor board hardware compatibility check failed Internal error. Please report this error message to Flukso.

Any help would be appreciated.

P.S. Is it normal to not be able to access the Flukso via it's IP it gets from the wifi router i.e. is the interface only accessible on ethernet via 192.168.255.1?

Thanks

USA 240 V Single Phase 200 amp residential install: which clamps, where?

240 V Single Phase 200 amp is common for USA new housing wiring.

I have two hot legs and a neutral coming into my breaker box. I have plenty of space for the clamps.
What size should they be?
One clamp per hot leg?

The big loads at my house are:
Heat pump with supplemental resistive coil heat.
Electric oven
Electric water heater

Image shows two hot legs going into main switch at top of breaker panel. The ground and neutral are between the two hot legs. Above the main switch, the hot legs go directly to the meter and through to the transformer without a customer-accessible switch.

Problems with net direction/calculations FLukso primary on PVouput

Just installed my Flukso and experience problems with net calculations on PVoutput. All looks fine until solar production starts. The Flukso readings then show big spikes in power consumed on the PVoutput graph (while no one is at home) where you would expect power exported (flukso graph looks fine although no negative values are visible on the graph) , seems like FLukso is reporting the opposite way. I previously used the Websolarlog software on Raspberry and did not have this issue.
My setup is:
Solar panel monitoring through FP4ALL logger on Delta Solivia inverter directly sending PV-output to PVoutput
Dutch smartmeter, P1 connector hooked up on Flukso
In Pvoutput settings Flukso is set as primary device, direction Net, sensor and token taken from smart-main electricity in Flukso cogwheel menu. Net delay 20 mins.
Also in tariffs, export model and import model set to net and net interval is set to every interval.
Maybe this setup in combination with the FP4ALL logger and FLukso primary doesn’t work or isn’t even supposed to work this way.
Anyway any help is greatly appreciated.

Flukso 244 issues

Hi I just received my flukso but encounters some bugs connecting to the KAIFA 2014 (version 0040??)
The (total) power usage is visible in DASH but only for the used not the produced power since the graph doesn’t support negative values or split the used and produced values ( T+ and T1 in the KAIFA screen )
The smart gas meter values aren’t visible gives a blank screen
The minute function gives an error (not same local network .. but is is )
Any suggestions where to check for the received measurements using SSH ?

Ps,
Remote access via wifi wasn't possible till I used the suggested ssh fix in this forum THANKS!

Met grote groet,

Adriaan

Different readings for same consumption

I have installed 2 Flukso devices (a V2 and V2B), running the same firmware (232). Now, this weekend I have bought 3 additional clamps in order to measure a separate circuit. To make sure everything works though, I have put the new clamps in exactly the same position as the existing 3 clamps. Situation: I now have 2 Flukso devices, measuring , exactly the same consumption - well at least they should be.
What I now see, is that there is a difference between both measurements of a bit less than 100 Watts... (the V2B measuring a bit more than the V2). How can that be? Can that be due to inaccuracies in the clamp measurements? Or differences between the A and B devices? Or influences from wires outside the clamps?
PS I have 3 phases at home, 240 Volts (not 400 - so my settings are at 133 Volts in the sensors).
