Globe LED doesn't light up

I have FL03001734 at home, and I configure my Wifi, but the Globe LED doesn't light up. On the sensor page it also states "synchronisation with Flukso server failed". I also can't register the unit under settings -> devices, it keeps asking for a valid serial number. I had actually tried this unit (and another one) at work today, and both failed in the same manner. I have successfully configured Flukso's both at home and work before. Any ideas?

Also, I wrote this post to the Forum via the Ethernet cable to the Flukso (the iMac has it's WiFi off), so the connection to the internet seems good. Just not the connection to the Flukso server.

I had a similar experience a few days ago and it turned out to be the wireless router. After a factory reset of the router, everything worked out well.

We hadn't yet provisioned the new batch of Australian FLM's in our database. You should see a successful synchronisation with the Flukso server now.

The Globe LED is now on, thanks.

Don't forget to sync once more by saving the sensor page.

what is changed in V3 ?

This was an FLM02A from the third production batch, hence the FL03xxxxxx serial number. No hardware changes at all.

I now have the unit on, synchronisation was successful, I have saved the sensor page again, the unit shows up in "devices" and the one sensor shows up in "sensors". But, there is no chart. To clarify, the current clamp is not clamped around a cable. But this should still work right, it should just show zero?

Zero consumption means no pulses and nothing being sent to the server. Hence there's nothing to chart.

OK. Can you clarify something else please? Assume I have a Fluksometer with one channel active, measuring the output from a solar inverter. Each night the inverter shuts down (current flow is zero). Does the Flukso send "nothing" to the server, or send "zero" to the server? In other words, do I need to measure something else on another channel just to keep the Fluksometer awake, and sending "zero"?

If your using a curent clamp it will most likely show a phanton value at night. With a Pulse output kw/h meter it will show '0' like you have now. The graph still cycles past with nothing showing (at least mine did in the past)

Readings are sent as counter values with a resolution of 1Wh to the server. When no consumption/production is measured, nothing will be sent.
