Installation

Questions about installing and configuring a Fluksometer.

Fluksometer v3 with 1 current clamp (100a) and no readings

Hi Guys

I am having problems trying to get electricity readings with a Fluksometer v3 on a single phase system with 1 clamp (100a). I am in the UK.

I have the clamp attached to one of the 2 x live feed cables to my electricity meter (I have tried both live cables which are clearly marked as such) with the clamp sensor connected to port 2 (I originally connected to port 1 but this didn't work so am trying to rule out possible causes).

I can see some values on the gauges page under port 2 but no watts figure and the 5 amp reading is too low for the whole house.

I am not seeing any readings on the Flukso Electricity dashboard but have confirmed that the electricity sensor is registered.

There are no issues with WiFi access (I Ssh'd in to open the wireless firewall on port 80 so that I dont have to keep unplugging the device from my garage to change the config).

This should be so simple, I almost feel embarrassed that it has beaten me ;-)

The odd thing is that I setup a 2nd Fluksometer v3 in the kitchen to monitor pulses from my water meter and this is working great.

Lost water sensor data when replacing defective provider (EANDIS,...) meters

Hi, a 7, 5 year customer.
I added a pulse meter to the Belgian water metering 5 years ago.
It was working till a few days ago because I lost the pulse signals completely.
First time I had to switch off the whole installation for 25 minutes for a differential switch test.
Bringing up and checking Flukso data / graph I saw water metering data was no longer there.
After a power down/up of Flukso v2 it came back.
Last Thursday we had to replace the complete installation. It took 4 hours to get the power back.
Same problem. Water metering data was gone again. The old data was still visible, but today data is still not back.
I did several power downs/ups of Flukso. Checked the small cable (2 wires) but couldn't see any defect or disconnection.
I tried to login to the Flukso LAN. Laptop PC ethernet connected directly to ethernet port of Flukso.
192.168.255.1 was not available. I did a lot of test with small changes to get it working but I couldn't login.
Guys, It is more than 5 years ago that I did some changes to the electricity network and to Flukso. 3 phases. solar panels, ... I can't remember that what I did now was right. I looked at the improved online manual of Flukso. ???. Water metering data is no longer generated.
Can you help here. Is there something I overlooked (battery in water meter low?
See you. Marc.

Right place? MeasuringNegative energy back to grid

Hi, I'm a customer for at least 7 years.
3 phase accumulator heating 10-18 kW on port 1-2-3
2 phase home electricity 2 phase, port 4-5
36 solar panels, 1 SMA SB convertor + 1 IFUBAT battery (spreading the load over 12-24 hours),
water consumption meter p7
I should like to measure electricity streaming back to the net. Because of the newly installed battery it should not exceed 10-15%. It was around 50% some months ago.
I use the same clamps during the night (accumulators ) and day (solar energy).
Solar energy is now almost completely gone on the graph due to battery loading of not consumed home electricity produced by the solar panels.
But I don't have any idea what is still moving to the grid.
Within 6 month together with the newly installed digital meters there will be some kind of taxes on negative electricity (they call it non-green energy)
Today the analogue meter is turning backwards, reducing number of kWatt.
Should V3 Flukso solve the issue? Can I reuse the p7 (p6) pulse1 0 signals?
Any advice appreciated.
Marc.

problemen met data

Ik ben weer bezig om mijn flukso weer in de lucht te krijgen na lange periode. Eerste keer was het niet wat ik er van verwachten en deed er niks meer mee. Omdat ik nu toch weer mijn energieverbruik wil gaan monitoren geef ik het nog een kans.
Mijn slimme meter met P1 poort krijg ik niet goed uitgelezen. Ik twijfel dan ook of de des tijds bijgeleverde P1 kabel correct is aangesloten. Ik kan nergens vinden (ook niet in de handleiding van Flukso) hoe deze kabel met 3 (eigenlijk 4) aders op de flukso logger aangesloten moet worden.
aderkleuren zijn geel, rood en zwart.
En ik vraag me af of er een app beschikbaar is die het actuele verbruik kan laten zien als je binnen je eigen netwerk bent. Dus als ik bijvoorbeeld een lamp aan zet ik op de smartphone gelijk het verbruik zie stijgen.
Het gaat in dit geval om een IOS device.

Alvast bedankt voor de reacties. Patrick

Gas readings lag about an hour?

Gas readings from my smart meter lag up to one hour (ie gas consumption is only updated in dash about once hour). Electricity consumption from the same smart meter is updated much more often (about every 5 minutes).

Is this a property of the flukso or the smart meter? Can I influence it and, if so, how?
