Flukso Kube will ever be offered for sale?

by netweaver on

Hi,
I'm just wondering if the Flukso Kube (and needed software) will ever come ' in the open' ? I saw the presentation at Fosdem in 2014, then I saw in March 2016 a picture of 20-odd cubes stacked up and the only one comment from @gebhardm, where it's clear he had at least one, exactly 1 year ago

On the hardware side I see that the FLK02 was finished (at least uploaded on GitHub) July 2015. I also see that the last commits for the FKL01 source code were end of September 2016.

What is the current status? What is still missing? Will this ever become a product we can buy in the Flukso shop?

I started looking into the HW and SW side, at least what's on GitHub.
The HW looks complete, apart from some small details (eg, the PTF fuse, what mA rating has it? The U7, what is that one? Solid-state relay? Type?). These are just 2 things I was looking in, to see if I could make it myself, if it never was going to surface.

But I have no clue in what state the Kube SW is. The integration into FLM firmware (I hope still in the FLM02B, the one I have), the self-registration etc.

I really like the idea of these small 'can-do-all cubes'. So I'm looking forward to some news :)

Thanks,
Geert

V250 wifi access

by wkraaij on

Hi, I am running a FLM2a for 6 years. I used to get ssh access via wan, but somehow it does not work anymore. I suspect it is due to the firmware upgrade to V250 I did about a year ago . Could somebody explain whether the V250 should offer WAN (wifi) SSH access by default? I can only find some instructions concerning option input 'ACCEPT' which seem to be written for older firmware, since my FLM already has such a line for the config zone wan. Also, the web server panel on port 8080 does not accept the credentials for root (I reconfigured the password). I did not find instructions on https://github.com/flukso/flm02/wiki , which seems the most recent manual for the device.

FLM v3: Allow further pulse ports to be added via RFM

by gebhardm on

By hardware the number of measuring ports directly accessible with an FLM v3 is limited. Yet from the software side this is no "real" limitation. With the capability to add Kubes (please provide them in the store :-)) this is a matter of just a "special kube with pulse input" (if not already existing)
This should actually be the most simple type of Kube that takes defined pulses and sends these to the FLM.
Providing such would also allow to fill the air gap if water meter, gas meter and electricity access are not in the same room. And a battery powered input device would also be no problem, as with the JeeNode experience batteries can be made lasting "forever"...
