Sensor board not up after blackout

On June 12 around 9:45 there was a complete blackout in our house. After this blackout the FLM's webserver came up again and also proper heartbeats were sent. Irritatingly there were no sensor readings and so no sensor data collected until we came back on June 17 and I shortly pulled the FLM's power to hard restart it. After the restart everything worked fine again. Sadly I don't know for how long there was the power drop on June 12 causing the improper start of the sensor board. What could have caused such a condition? No correct brown-out detection, too short power drop for a brown out, but long enough to decouple it from the server board? Any other idea? Who has experienced a similar phenomenon?
Best regards

Dash works on my Iphone but not on my Android, why?

Dash works pretty nice on the Iphone but when I try to access it with my Android (ZTE Blade) it's all blank where the graphs should be. Why is that or what am I doing wrong? (Not logged in, just browsing the demo)

Syslog Question

Hello,

I had a question about the Syslog on the Flukso internal webpage.

I recalculate my Water consumtion, I have a real relay so I can hear the sound when he is ticking.

I hear 14 times a ticking puls, my water meter give every puls 0.5L.

When I see in the syslog, I see 7 Lines like this.

Jun 11 07:35:50 flukso-b1f56a daemon.info fluksod[6161]: processed pulse e3ea0fd5a38dd0c6b4c75474adcdb80b:1339400150:47951

Is this then True for the flukso website, that this is 7L. I think I must see then 14 Lines of this ?

The Update date time to the flukso website is done very quickly,

POST https://api.flukso.net/sensor/e3ea0fd5a38dd0c6b4c75474adcdb80b

But after somtimes more then a half hour, the Dash is not update, it take sometimes more then a half hour ?
Is this normal ? instead of the electricity is update more quickly ?

Thanks for reply'ings.

Flukso v1 doesn't restart after power failure

I had a brief power outage on 14 April. My NAS emailed me when it restarted. The Flukso v1 has not uploaded any data since the power outage,and says last heartbeat 14 Apr 2012 11:10:58. I'll power cycle it when I get home to make it talk again, but perhaps the Flukso needs some testing to see how it responds to brief power outages.

Make an analog-to-pulse converter to plug additional current clamp to Fluksometer

Currently I use three current clamps to measure the three phases of our mains lines with one Fluksometer, and an additional Fluksometer to measure the output of our PV installation with another current clamp. This is due to the fact that all our meters do provide no pulse output and I do not want to add an additional meter with an S0-output. So my idea was (and still is) to use the schematics of the Fluksometer collector board as a hint-provider to set up an analog-to-pulse converter.
