Hi all,
I've been happily using the Flukso2A for quite a while now but since my solar panels were installed it became rather useless I'm afraid.
I've read that the Flukso can't measure current direction so when my solar panels start generating power the readings are all over the place.
My situation:
Main circuit board located in the front of the house: clamp is connected to the live wire coming straight from the public meter to the first diff as instructed in the manual. Worked like a charm as long as the energy was flowing from the grid to my house.
Second circuit board located in the garage: Connected to the main board through a lead of sufficient thickness (I think 6 or 10). It is actually connected on the same input as where the live wires from the grid are coming in to the first breaker. The PV is installed on the board in the garage.
The issue however is in fact that I have network connectivity in the garage but no way to get a cable to the garage for a separate lead into the flukso.
Further more the wire coming from the garage can be bidirectional as well consuming power or delivering power.
Are there any solutions to get this working?
I'm thinking in 2 directions. First of all solving the power consumption reading bit. Any pointers on how I can relocate the clamp to make sure I can get a good reading completely separate from the solar production?
Adding a second flukso in combination with a din rail pulse energy meter in my garage circuit box to measure the solar production to get the reading in flukso as well...
Any pointers are highly appreciated.
