That's a question which lives in the mind of many Fluksonians. Will it be possible to exchange the sensor board so we don't have to buy a whole new FLM?

I was thinking the same.
Only them you have a sensorboard left, so isn't it better to buy a new one and sell your old one.
If you use the same sensor places / settings / name them Bart can copy the data from your old flukso to the new one.

them = then

Any news on this? Would Bart be prepared to set up an exchange program? Or make the V2b board available? Or better still, would anyone buy my almost brand new Flukso at a discount?

I second this question.

In the shop the FLM02A is still available.
I wonder who is going to buy the "old" FLM02A if you can buy the new FLM02B for only 12 euro's more ?
I may be interested in the previous version for a bargain price.

Let me know. Mine is for sale. - J

Shipping the v2.2 sensor board is not an option. The FLM02A will not boot reliably when fitted with the new v2.2 sensor board. It needs a boot loader upgrade first. The FLM02B also provisioned differently in the Flukso DB. The only way to offer an upgrade without getting into a support nightmare would be a refurbishment programme. You would need to return your FLM02A to Flukso HQ to have it upgraded to an FLM02B with a new serial number and different sensor id's.

Looks good. If and when such a refurbishment programme would start, the specifics would probably appear in the shop.

When i buy mij FLM V2 there was no V2B, whem i get the V2 , there was also the V2B
When i hat the choice i have buy the V2B.
What bothers me is that Bart mot contakt me if I prefer a V2B . ( I have servals times contakt Bart)
Especially now that I get a smart meter, i can read it with the V2.

I completely understand Bart arguments about support nightmare and refurbishment program.
But for me in Brazil this is big no no:
-I would pay half a fortune to submit FLM back to HQ
-I would have to pay half of that half to have it back to Brazil
-When it arrives I will pay taxes over price of service (need receipt) and total amount of ship and handling.
-> until here it is more or less ok (expensive but affordable)
-but since Bart uses FEDEX to send I have one more tax to pay and this tax is 18% over the total above (including the taxes!!!). This make the FLM trip to cost 3 times it would cost.
Better to get another one (will be almost same price) and be with two at home... :D

To save a lot of people a lot of money. How about Flukso deputising some tech savy users to provide boot loader upgrades to local Flukso owners. So instead of having an international round trip, which would burn up quite a bit of jet fuel. Users could send the FLM to a local representative for the boot loader update (or visit in person if the representative was happy to do that). The representative could update the boot loader, issue a new serial and send all the relevant details to Flukso HQ for loading into the database.
Saves time, money and the environment.
Why send something all around the world when it could be done locally with a little setup and co-ordination?
Maybe Flukso could include the new serial number with the sensor board. That way the representative would only be using serial numbers already issued by Flukso to that particular user.

I think it would be a nice gesture if customers that have already invested in a v2A would get a one off discount when they are willing to buy a version 2B? I have used the flukso 2A now for half year and it works great, once installed no issues.
But to pay the full price for what I consider an upgrade feels a bit harsh.
My suggestion: ship the version 2.2 board without the case to version 2A board owners at a discounteed price.
I cannot oversee the technical impact on the backend db but it seems not that difficult to route data from version 2A to a different database then version 2B?
A different option is to develop a different module on top of the 2A board to be able to read out the modern P1 digital port of Dutch smart meters? That is actually all I am interseted in ;-)
