2 day's ago I succesfully installed a flukso-device + 3 clamps. My main interest is metering de power from my solar-installation. It consists of 7 Steca 500 Net inverters in 2 groups (5 and 2) on one powerline that is metered bij a Clamp with the name: 'Zon1'. I have a 1 fase 230 volt installation. I have 2 steca Net-controllers with measured the power of the two Solar groups, but one broke down.

My problem is that clamp 'Zon1' is metering Ghost-current. At night when the steca inverters are sleeping/swithed-off the clamp registered a current of 235 Watt. I checked with an other device the same line and it reads 4-15 watts (jumping) which is consistent with de spec's of the Steca's (should be zero, but okee..). When I disconnect the sub-group of 2 steca's the measured power drops with 50 watts. When I switch the powerline completely off the clamp Zon1 measures 3 watts. I tried installing the clamp on another position, neutral and back to the hot line but with the same results. I switched of the Frontdoor-Bell-transformator that's near the solar-powerline, but the same result. What is clamp Zon1 metering? Can I adjust the result by substracting 235watt from the results?

Hi,

A few weeks ago I acquired the Flukso and installed it immediately using only sensor port 4. Just before my holiday I activated sensor 5 including the wiring as I expected solar panels to be installed during my absence. Only 2 days later (before installing the panels) all broke down.... It stopped uploading my data to the flukso server.

I already spent two evenings trying to figure out what is wrong and today I took the Flukso, decoupled the wiring (pulled it out of the flukso socket) and decided to imitate everything I did the first time.....

However no succes: the server sync and server ping do not work..... strange enough the moment I connect my flukso to the laptop I loose my (wifi)connection for http-traffic. (Spotify continues to play...) That is probably the reason for the server sync/ping fail.)

Does this ring a bell to anyone?

In addition; when I go the configuration page and have the flukso rescan for wifi networks, then none are discovered while there are many networks in the near surroundings. Using the toggle does not help.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Hi All
I have a second installation at my rental house however it has consistently been erratic frequently dropping its connection to flukso etc (globe out) however wifi still solid. Sometimes it's up for a week + and others its every 1-2-3 days.....was frustrating. Luckily it's located just around the corner from me so I'd pop over and pull the plug and let it reboot and reconnect etc.

I've put it down to very low wifi signal about 21db (with the meter box open) combined with the additional 6+ wifi network in the area all in the 95db range.
The meter box is doing a really good job at attenuating/shielding my wifi signal.

I was considering a wifi extender however these can reduce your network performance, installing a dedicated hard wire connection was also out (I'm too lazy) so I opted for power line adapter solution and purchased a Netcomm Powerline adapter kit NP204. $90AUD

Install was easy.
These adapters have an AC pass through socket so you can utilize the power outlets you are currently using for your router and the fluksometer. The kit even includes two one meter ethernet cables, one for connection between one powerline adaptor and your router and the other to connect the other powerline adapter to your fluksometer.
I had the fluksometer back up and running in minutes after I remembered I had to toggle the Flukso to ethernet.

The system has only been back up for a number of hrs so I'll report back in a week or so with some feedback but this seems to be a good alternative to wifi or deciated hard wiring in difficult installations.

After a WLAN key Change (my new Android device couldn't handle 32char passwords) I forgot my flukso (shame on me). To make things worse, the flukso rebooted days before I recognized the error. As I understood it right, the flukso discards all data before time sync took place.
In short, I have two missing days of data (which is ok), but the total energy consumtion for three days (8th to 10th of may) is negative.
Is there a simple way to fix this?

Hello everybody,

i´m looking for an easy way (i absolutly have no programming experience, as well as linux :-() to get data from the Flukso. isn´t there any windows ready program to read the data?

I´m in the same Network and have fully access to the fluxso.

I just want da an data output to work with in excel.

Please help me :-) (be sure, i read the forum for hours without success)

Thank you in advance!
