Installation

Questions about installing and configuring a Fluksometer.

data not flowing to server

Dear FSM experts,

I encounter a strange problem: our FSM is connected to internet (ping to Flukso server is successful, from SSH session on FSM we can ping flukso.net) and measured values provided on the local API (MQTT) show correct measured values.
However these measurements do not get (correctly) to the server.

This is what the (locally connecting) MQTT client shows:
/sensor/44363c3bd479bf47f9d3c70290dd3315/gauge [1393862764,3055286,"W"]
/sensor/44363c3bd479bf47f9d3c70290dd3315/gauge [1393862765,3201220,"W"]
/sensor/44363c3bd479bf47f9d3c70290dd3315/gauge [1393862767,3052326,"W"]
/sensor/44363c3bd479bf47f9d3c70290dd3315/gauge [1393862768,3201220,"W"]

This is the same data on the server:
https://api.flukso.net/sensor/44363c3bd479bf47f9d3c70290dd3315?version=1...
[[1393862760,"nan"],[1393862820,"nan"],[1393862880,"nan"],[1393862940,"nan"],[1393863000,"nan"]

Further on there are no datapoints shown on the server.

This behavior is identical on both our FLM02A units (both upgraded to firmware 232).
Note that we have re-configured these systems quite a lot.
We also tried a full reset but no improvements.

Any idea on the cause?
Is there anything specific that can be checked on the FSM itself (e.g. with SSH session)?

Kind Regards,

Frederik

pulse metering: maximum size meterconstant?

Hi,

In our final setup we need to make use of a quite big meterconstant (between 200 and 875).
I noticed in a test setup that with a meterconsant of 100 data was reported correctly, but when using 875 measured value is incorrect.
Could there be an overflow problem when using big meterconstants?

Kind Regards,

Frederik

Switch from analog clamps to S0 metering

Since I'm switching from analoge clamps to S0 metering, I'm selling my clamps:
3x 50amps

Anyone interested?

I'll invest this in a second Flukso.

Correct Flukso Unit for USA

Hello All!

I'd like to place an order for the Flukso device. I'm mighty interested to start running energy consumption stats oproperty ouscompromised not just bapartments,e I'm a stats geek but also to significantly reduce my footprint on our little roquestion: doringly called 'Earth' in this vast galaxy.

Just to precisely clarify for my own purposes AND for the future internet denizens looking to achieve the same:

1) the Flukso V2B unit will be fully functional for the use on the electrical grid of the USA (I'm in Chicago, to be specific), correct?

2) I own one property that has 3 separate circuit breaker boxes with 3 separate electrical meters, each corresponding to it's own breaker box. This property is comprised of 3 rental apartments, hence the 3 circuit breaker panels / electrical meters. My question: can I use 1 Flukso V2B unit for all 3 breaker panels? Possibly by installing the clamps "outside" of the 3 breaker boxes, and clamped at the point where the mains split off to the 3 breaker boxes? I wish to only have stats of electrical usage for the property as a whole, not necessarily per individual apartment unit.

3) all 3 circuit breaker panels are of the 250 Amp or less type, so the 250 Amp clamps would suffice? Would a 250 Amp clamp also work perfectly on a 100 Amp panel?

Any knowledge, suggestions or advice = greatly appreciated. I may pay in the form of 1 case of beer should anyone come up with a most crafty answer ;-)

Thanks!!
