Installation

Questions about installing and configuring a Fluksometer.

amount of powerclamps to be installed

Hi,

I'm wondering, how many measurements inputs can the Flukso handle?

I have a fusebox with about 9 fuses/power-groups, and would like to measure most them on their own, to see how much energy is consumed per power-group.

What are the limits of the system? And is a setup like this possible, or does it need extra (input)port to connect that many power-clamps?

Regards,
Renee

internet connection check

Every time I have a problem with internet connectivity (ADSL session timeout or a router inbetween that fails) the Flukso v1/v2 stops sending data to the Flukso server...removing the utp cable from the flukso lan port doesn't help.
I have to reboot and thus loose days of data which is probably still residing in the flukso cache?

According to Flukso website the heartbeat is correct : 28/03/2012
and an uptime of 3days 21hours

but no data is shown of it's 2 optical and 3 amp clamps???

last data on the flukso website 24/03/2012 :(

Wrong time hour change

Spent a along time trying to find out why my BST hour change did not happen on my flukso ,I got it to work eventually, connect via ethernet cable, log in , and save your sensor page for it to upload, worked for me.

edit... hmmmm worked ok on the log in page of the flukso but checked pvoutput.org and it was still wrong ...ahhhhhhg
For UK now need to change in settings to GMT+1 on pvoutpt site , now all working !. I hope this helps someone.

Solar panel measuring not accurate...

Hello!

Same problem that quite some people have here with measuring solar panels with a clamp.

An overview... maybe someone sees the logic:
- at night, there is a constant measuring of 50 Watt on the Solar circuit.
- if I switch off the fuse of the solar installation this drops to 25 Watt?
- during day, the reading is 50-100 Watt higher than the numbers shown on the inverter.

So I'm thinking to buy a phototransistor to stick to the red LED on my DIN kWh meter installed. Any pointers to a model that should work are welcome...

Lua error when selecting system on the webinterface

I get following error when clicking on the system link in the web interface and it seems that the heartbeat isn't working any longer either.

I noticed there is an update for the firmware is it possible to upgrade the device manually?

below the error

  1. /usr/lib/lua/luci/cbi.lua:338: Unable to read UCI data: system
  2. stack traceback:
