Installation

Questions about installing and configuring a Fluksometer.

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,

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).

Minimum wattage of the power clamps

Hello everybody.

I'm new here. I have installed 2 current clamps.
1 on the main cable, for my total consumption of energy.
1 on the solarpanels cable.

When the solarpanels starts up my inverter begins with 1 watt and goes on to almost 2000 watt. But when i see THE grafics on flukso, iT start with almost 200 watt?!

When my house consumption is around 400 watt, and my solarpanels give around 400 watt back, THE clamp of the Total consumption must be around 0 watt!!!
But both of THE clamps have no grafics between 0 and 200 watt!?!
So whats happening?

Flukso dies periodically with increasing frequency

Hi,

A few days ago, one of our Fluksos went off-line suddenly and was not reachable over WiFi. I switched it off and on and it came back quickly. The next time this happened it didn't get back online after a few minutes so I just tried to swap the power supply and it eventually came up with the new one. I thought the power supply was getting a bit "tired" and was glad to have things repaired that way. Now today there was another hang and I had to switch it off and on again which worked.
On next hang, I will be getting the thing off the wall and check if all internal connections are seated well or if visually a problem can be seen. But I am prepared to replace the device and I wanted to ask what this does to the data already in flukso.net from this device:
Can I just delete the device from my account, add a new one with the same sensors attached and continue with my data stream or is there some intervention from Flukso needed to make sure my measurements up until now are not lost ?

Thanks - Christoph
