Installation

Questions about installing and configuring a Fluksometer.

FLM02B port 6

Is there an connection diagram of the FLM02B ?
I already know that:
Port 1 is for analoge only (0 - 5Vdc on - and +) for Ampère clamps
Port 2 is for analoge or puls (- and +)
Port 3 idem above
Port 4 is for puls only (- and +)
Port 5 idem above
Port 6 is for dutch smart meters (a and b)...and other perhaps...
I measured on port 6a = 5Vdc between one of the negative puls ports (-) is that correct ?
Can port 6 be used for other purposes, perhaps with an configuration ?
Can port 6a be used to supply Vcc to an photoelectric switch with or without an comparator like on model FLM02a ?
How many mA can be used through that 6a connection point with 5Vdc on it ?
That last question is to be sure not to overload the FLM (GPIO ... ?) if i use port 6a :D

Used formula to calculate power consumption

Hello,

I have a question, as far as I know the current clamps used with the flukso measure current and have no clue of voltage, so to calculate the power consumption I assume they use a fixed voltage setting?

To which amount is this set and where is this configured ?
e.g. depending on the moment of the day the voltage in my home is somewhere between 231 and 237 volt.

I have a separate volt meter I could read out from the flukso to always use the current voltage to calculate the real power consumption, ...

Watermeter possible solution ?

In my house i have an not so recent watermeter installed (see picture).

The counter on top is tunable for about 340° so i think the counter movement is driven by an magnet and the water propeller inside has also an magnet. But i don't detect any magnet with use of an compass.
Has anyone already saw those watermeters in Belgium. Brand is unknow, i see only an A and Q.
What can i do to detect the movement, beside the use of an camera, LOL ?

Minute Tab Realtime dsiplay

I like to reopen this topic on a new thread hoping to get the latest status on this as it is not working with any browser I tested so far. These are:
Safari on Iphone
Safari on IPad

IE 11
Latest Chrome

Any News what can be done to make it work on either browser?

First-time install problems

FLM v2b arrived today.

Lesson learned so far:

1. Can't plug the unit into a hub, even with appropriate IP and netmask settings on my PC. It seems to require a direct-to-PC connection with DHCP enabled on the PC.
2. It looks like the HTTP server is not accessible over the wireless link, nor does ping appear to work over wireless.
3. The "3-phase" setting seems to have some meaning that I don't understand, since it disables power sensor connections beyond the first one.
4. Apparently this forum doesn't have a search feature.

After wiring everything up, it took quite a while for anything to show up on the fluxo.net website. Is that normal? How often does the v2b sync with the website?

Is there an easy way to check the setup locally, to make sure everything is working right?

As far as I can tell, there isn't currently a way to configure certain sensors to be consumption, and others to be production, and to have them displayed net. I've heard I can do that with pvbeancounter or pvoutput, but that it requires some setup. Is there a writeup somewhere with more details? Nothing along those lines came in the box, nor do I see a "docs" or "support" section on the website.
