Hi,

I'm Nicolas, a new and enthusiastic member of the Flukso community.

It was really a surprise for me to discover how most of my modern (switching) supplies lead to such a bad "base-load" power factor. And an overstimation of my consumption as the clamp does measure the apparent power and not an expected active power (aka the Watts).

As many of you, I'm going to add a DIN rail meter that will feed 1600 pulses/kWh. So, basically problem solved.

Nevertheless, I'm quite sure the hardware would be able to compute an active power and a cos(phi).

We could easily feed an AC phase information using a 5V analog (sinusoidal) input, or, as easily, a zero-crossing detection circuit that would pulse at 100 Hz.

I think I've read the FLM analog input are polled at around 600 Hz, which would be more than enough.

Does it seem reasonable ?

For reference, here is my previous experience in mains phase sensing and zero-crossing (about at the middle of the page) : http://letsmakerobots.com/node/4750

I can easily wire a prototype, but have no clue where in the Flukso code I could make use of the new phase input.

Greetings

I installed a propane closed fireplace gas burner.
Closed means ==> all burned gas,... are directly removed through a chimrey.
I should like to measure my propane gas consumption.
Is there any device/sensor available working with the Flukso setup?
Again => it is a propane gas installation. Most of the installations use natural gas metering.
Flukso has a few sensors available for this type of device.

Hello!

Been looking into my old Flukso again after some time.
I got a pulse electrical meter that I would like to read out with some precision over time. Ideally I would like to have the pulse count of my meter via the server JSON API.
Looking into the manual they list units of power as the units to use. (Watt, kilowatthourperyear, etc). At the same time the web site offers accumulated energy consumption.

Is there a way to read out accumulated energy consumption via the server JSON API?

thanks in advance,

Hello

I would like to get the actual sensor data by connecting over TCP/IP to the Flukso server.
The manual describes a way to do this but it won't work.
I've tried this http request: "https://api.flukso.net/sensor/*SensorID*?version=1.0&token=*TokenID*&param=all"
All I get is an internal server error.
Can somebody help me with this?
I would also like to request the data from the Fluko Kubes.
Requesting the data locally at the FLM (http or from the mqtt broker) is no option in my case.

Regards,
Gwen

Hello.

I have a boilerstove connected with flukso. It measured the flow of my cold to hot water. It's an indication of what my boilerstove does.

But:

I am making a new program based on an arduino. It has 2 temperature sensors, a digital pin input, and a LCD display.
Now I am able to measure exact what my boikerstove does.
For example my inlet is 25 degrees, outlet 70 degrees, my flow is 2 liters a minute. The arduino is now calculating that the kw a of the boikerstove through the watercircuit is 6,285 kW.
But now I have THE question.
Is it possible to give those data back to flukso?
I have been thinking, maybe with a relay?
I measured kWh also.
So for example: If (kWh > 0,001)
Relay on
KWh = kWh - 0,001
Relay off

This to create a s0 pulse where flukso can work with?
Is this possible?
Or is there an easier option, cause I have to buy arduino relays.

Thanks,
Hans
