kWh to Power not working

Submitted by Guest on Sat, 16/11/2013 - 21:47

Hi all

I'm using an EmonTx to log kwh pulses from my gas meter. Every 10 seconds the number of pulses in the previous 10s is forwarded to Emoncms.

My input processes are:
Log to feed
X
kWh to Power

The Log to feed and X processes are working well but the kWh to Power always creates a 0 output on the graph.

If I run emoncms on my local server, using mysql, all is well but it doesn't work on emoncms.org, using timestore.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Carlton

Out of curiosity, what kind of precision does your gas meter have ? I mean, how much gas does an impulse account for ?

Mine has a 0.01 m3 step, and I'm having a hard time getting the power out of it.

Edit: I believe my software problem is solved. Now, I'm bothered by RF packet loss, which I think are due to the LiPo batteries being affected by the cold outside (4°C or less). Anyway, it works on mySQL on my server. I'll try to keep you informed when I test timestore.
