Empty smart meter P1 telegrams

by bellyf on

I'm getting empty telegrams:
 <date> flukso-336da5 daemon.err parsed[690]: /usr/sbin/parsed.lua:131: decoder returned an empty telegram

When I inspect the output of my smart meter (Landis + Gyr ZMF110) I see the following output:

  1. root@flukso-336da5:~# /etc/init.d/flukso restart
  2. Daemon returned 0 as return value. (total 6 times this line)
  3. root@flukso-336da5:~# /etc/init.d/flukso stop  
  4. root@flukso-336da5:~# cat /dev/ttyS0

I have some of this behaviour in other posts but I'm unsure what to do next.

I have done a factory reset more than once. Should I issue a  fp1 command (only once)?

Simple solution to minute view -

by Pishnagambo on

Hey, I have long used a flukso on a holiday house I own, that in a few years will become my primary residence. Fantastic device! (nice house too!).

Though I have often struggled with the minute live view. I read around and understood it to be related to newer security settings when browsers see a mixture of element types on the same page. Sure there are work around's, but I always found that to be a pain as everything would whine at you about being less secure - which ... is true anyways.

So I just downloaded a different browser - Midori.

Its not great - and I would NEVER use it for *anything* else. But now I have the Flukso page as its home page and the minute view works just fine.

I'm sure other similar lightweight browsers would do the trick. I cant be bothered looking for one as this is doing what I intended for it to do. Previously I just viewed it on the iPhone or iPad.

Figured this info might help others out there to find a quick fix for the Minute view issue. Have fun!

gas probe on actaris g6

by niels.vissers on

does anyone know where to place the gas probe on an actaris g6 gas meter?
i can't find where to place it.
or is it impossible to use the gas probe and need to use the refective 0 and a light sensor?

How to install the current clamp?

by Freek on

Hi all,

I'm thinking about buying me a FLM to monitor our electricity usage. I would like to do the installation of the current clamp myself so I opened up the fuse box to check what clamps I need to order and how easy it can be installed.
There is one cable going from the electricity metering device into the fuse box, on the top right corner, see: https://www.dropbox.com/s/o08vh6amtmjja0z/IMAG0907.jpg?dl=0

This cable consist of one brown, one blue and two black lines.

I guess we are talking about 3 phases here, correct?
So I would need 3 clamps and attach them to the black and brown lines?

Thanks for your help!
Freek

config ?

by on1gl on

Finished the installation today of the Flukso V2.
Water sensor : installed without problems on a Elster V100
Gas sensor : installed with some 'problems' on a Elster BK-G6, had to file off the reedsensor housing top (by hand - don't use powertools) before there was a reliable magnetic contact between the internal magnet and the reedsensor.
Electric (3x220V) : first on the wrong foot by a early picture in the forum of a version 1 installation :-( but after some RTFM .... got it working.

Some things I'm not sure of :
- the calibration of the sensors
- in the syslog there is only one electric sensor reporting, could be normal if I read the manual wright, but to be sure is this correct ? (3 sensor - 3 phase setup)
