Greetings folks

I need some assistance in tuning my flukso so that the readings are accurate.

I have adopted the same setup as bazzle with the Lynx pulse meters (2000p/kWh - constant 2) and then configured PVOutput accordingly for each of the two inputs. However PVOutput is reading about much higher than expected.

Above a comparison of the inverter itself vs flukso. Below the screencap from the flukso dashboard.

Any idea what I need to do to get the readings accurate?

TIA for assistance.

Hi.

After a rather long and faithful service, it seems my unit has began acting weird recently. My router has a scheduled reboot each night and, normally, the meter reconnects automatically. The last couple of times, though, I had to power down both the router and the meter to re-estabilish the link. Last night, the link was lost way before the scheduled reboot.

Router log is full of lines like these:

Router is running OpenWRT r38226 with no config changes in more than a week for sure.
Other devices in the network function normally: a couple of laptops, a desktop with usb stick, two smartphones, an Android minipc, all work fine.

Any clues and checks I should run?

BR,
Andrea.

if(in && power < 78) power = 0;
else if(in) power *= 1.09;

First part resets power to 0W if it is consumption and below 78W

Second part increases consumption power by 9% only.

If(power <78) power =0;if(out) power *= 1.09;
This resets either consumption or generation to 0W if it is below 0W, then it will increase any generation by 9%

I attempt to measure the power consumption of my PC at work with Fluksometer. For this I removed the shield on the power cable and attached a clamp to one of the wires. I set up a local server on my PC and connect to the Fluksometer through ethernet port. However, even after couple of days I haven't received any data. Even trying to get real time from a sensor I got the following output.
Anyone has any idea? Is it possible to measure a PC power consumption with Fluksometer?

Love the device, finally getting a grip on my power and gas consumption. But there are a few things I think that can be improved:

- The webinterface shows all kind of settings, but I can not find where to change (for example) the reporting mode mentioned in paragraph 2.1.2 of the manual. To me, it looks like the manual is for another version of the Fluksometer, it also mentions a pushbutton I don't have. I have a Fluksometer v2b (FLM02b).

- The device reports back to flukso.net in minute intervals, but when I get the data local, I can only get the readings per second. For a complete minute I have to ask twice, twenty seconds apart. Why doen't the Fluksometer report per minute local ? It's supposed to cache some data for when the internet connection fails, the data should be there.
if I now want to have the minute-data there are two choices:
- grab the data from api.flukso.net, retention two days
- grab the data per second local, and calculate the minute data myself

- The forum contains a treasure of information. Perhaps the most valuable parts can be put in a Wiki. That way you provide some way of authority.

- My home is equipped with a Dutch Smart meter with a P1 connector, and my Fluksometer v2b came with a cable. The product page in the shop tells you how to connect te cable, but is just the other way around, as mentioned in the forum.

- Somehow when you connect a Smart meter you don't have to configure the sensors. I'm not sure wheter you have to save that configuration, it works flawless now. This took me a few tries.

- Retreiving data from api.flukso.net requires a token, a specific token per senor or a account-level token. Where do I find that account level token ?

- Retreiving data from api.flukso.net works fine, perhaps you could mention the retention time of each resolution. That is mentioned somewhere in the forums.
