Hi, I have 2 pulse sensors running, workshop & house, unfortunately pvoutput only has one input for consumption. How can I combine these two feeds to show total consumption there?
pvoutput has provision currently for 2 sensors, generated and consumption.
What shows up on the graph when you log both of yours?
Also this unofficial site for pvoutput questions is quite good http://www.getsatisfaction.com/pvoutput

Hiya, pvoutput deducts one sensor from the other because it only allows one consumption and one generation via its flukso options. And I have two consumption sensors.
It looks like I either need them to change their site, or add my to sensors together prior to pvoutput.
Any ideas? I'd like to keep the data separate on the dash if I can.

Looking at the pvoutput settings, edit system, automatic uploads. It has fields for the main and secondary sensors. But it also has a secondary device field which is described as "A secondary device can be used to upload in the opposite or same direction".
I wonder if you could put the same flukso device in there again and have it also count as consumption.
For example the "Main" device be set as consumption and have one of your pulse input sensor/tokens and the "Secondary" device also set as consumption with your other pulse input sensor/token.
Worth a try maybe. If it works then i would imagine you would see a combined chart on pvoutput and still be able to see the seperate inputs on the Flukso dash page.

Thanks Fusionpower, I never noticed that option, is it new??? Anyway, I just added the second sensor in there as consumption and the two are summed. Works a treat. Thanks again.

i can't remember seeing it when i setup my system a few weeks ago.
Checked the News page (http://pvoutput.org/whatsnew.jsp) just now and there is an entry about it.
"07/08/12 Added Auto Uploader Secondary Device. See Notes"
The notes say:
"The secondary device is now available for the Auto Uploader.
Current secondary devices are -
- Cosm
- Flukso
- Enphase
Which can be mixed with any of the current primary devices except for 'Weather'
Note that a direction can also be set on the secondary device, if the directions are the same the power values of both devices will be added together.
This makes it possible to have a Cosm+Cosm combination which adds together two different data streams from the same or different feed.
Or a Flusko+Flukso mix which adds two different sensors etc."
