When will Fluksometers be available again?

Hi everybody,

are there any news when new Fluxometers will be available to order?

I would like to buy 2 or 3 units - Or at least one :)

Maybe someone can give me an update on the current situation.

Thanks
Philipp

I am also very interested in when the new meters will be available for sale. I do need a 3 phase one.
Does anyone know if the will come a solution to measure all separate groups instead of the total values?
As I do have a lot of groups it would be good to have a split.

Keep continuing the good work.

Yes please, I would also like to order a few units.

Is this project still alive? I don't see much activity over the last 6 weeks......

thanks
Andy

Hi all,

The pre-production run is now almost completed. Fluksometer v2 samples are undergoing testing for CE certification. Once we can stick a CE-label onto the Fluksometer, we'll launch the first production batch. Lead component purchasing for the batch is already ongoing.

It's taken us a bit longer than planned to get our baby into production. But just like Elvis, we're definitely not dead!

Cheers,
Bart.

Hi Bart,

great to hear! I'll be looking forward to my quote (2 x flukso V2 + 1 clamp single phase and lead) please ;-)

What will be the main differences between the V1 and the V2 in features?
I've tried to comprehend the eagle schematics and sourcecode but... it would be better if there is a blog entry?
Perhaps you explained it in a slide at Fosdem 2011?
but there is no blog entry nor slide available?

Short status update: We have passed the required CE tests. We are now gearing up for the first production run. We would like to have the Fluksometer v2 available within 6-8 weeks from now.

Cheers,
Bart.

Hey Bart,

if I have counted correctly it is now 6 weeks after passing the CE test. Can you give us a status update regarding the progress?
Looking forward to be able to purchase.

Regards,

Erwin

Hello Erwin,

Production of the first FLM02A batch is now ongoing with first availability planned for mid-August.

Cheers,
Bart.

Hi Bart,

it is mid August, so it should be buying time.
When does it start?
I am eager to get one soon.

Regards,

Erwin

Hi Guys,

We're almost there. The Fluksometers are in final assembly and are expected to be released within the next 10 days.

Cheers,
Bart.

Hey Bart,
Are there any new information?

The first production batch has been shipped from the factory earlier this week and should arrive within a few days. So we're now effectively open for business! Feel free to place your orders via the Flukso web shop at [1]. Since different clamp types are available (50A, 100A, 250A and 500A), you'll have to order these separately from the Fluksometer v2.

Please note that I've extensively tested the shop for all sorts of scenario's (e.g. intra-community with or without VAT, shipping quotes, order volume discounts, etc.). Nevertheless, it's still possible that a bug pops up during the ordering process. Don't hesitate to signal any issues. We'll make sure to correct any errors straight away.

Cheers!
Bart.

Hey Bart
It's great to hear!
Which version I need for a German three-room apartment?
I need sure three sensors, but which 50 or 100?
On my electric meter stands "3x230V/400V/10/60A"

Hi Philipp,

3x 50A clamps will do just fine.

I wanted to buy a set and pay via PayPal.
Unfortunately I get always this page at PayPal:

Please login to use the PayPal Sandbox features.

Now I do not know if I've already bought a set or whether I should try it again?

icarus75's picture

Oops. We still had the Paypal settings configured to connect to their test server (= sandbox) instead of the live Paypal server. As of now, you should now be directed to the live Paypal server from the Flukso checkout page.

My apologies for the confusion. Please try placing an order again. We'll just delete the previous one if necessary.

Cheers,
Bart.
