Current Cost Support Forum

No response yet....

I have had a reply from CC regarding the upgrade cost for an original Bridge as follows;

NetSmart 12 upgrade £5.99

NetSmart 24 upgrade £7.99

NetSmart PRO 12 upgrade £11.99

NetSmart PRO 24 upgrade £14.99

Personally,I think I may wait and see how it goes before jumping in early this time.

Cheaper than I imagined!

Does that include p&p if you have to send it back for the upgrade?

I was going to show you all the nice 8Kw spike from the IAM on my Kitchen LCD TV but the public share page only shares the top graph.


8kw Spike


Channel Unselected

Automan.

Got a 16Kw spike now!

All on the same IAM...



Automan.

My Kitchen AV now has a negative energy figure for today

Automan.

Still getting bad data with a 16Kw spike on the main house energy and 25kw on the Kitchen AV.

Also fridge / freezer is creating power - who needs PV




My old bridge is still running and is only about 1foot from the new one.

No 16kw spike during the night with it.



Automan.

Ignoring a few oddities, looks good.

When they said your Kitchen TV was Plasma , they weren't kidding


Those upgrade prices seem OK to me, assuming it works.

I assume Automan that you have a clamp on your PV output/input cable and you have assigned this to a channel. Perhaps, like me, you have deployed an optismart for the household usage , so as to not get results slewed by PV , then redeployed the original clamp on the PV connection with the household unit in the meter box ?


I also have a mastervolt display unit which shows the output from PV using a load resistor close to the panels. My CC display is about 100watts high, but assume this is due to it displaying the combination of the panel output in AC and the power consumption of the invertors, since it all uses the same AC wiring

I have two Optismart units and three of the new IAM's

OptiSmart 1 is on electric board meter (main channel and Appliance 9 for meter reading)
OptiSmart 2 is on Micro PV meter (Appliance 1 and Appliance 8 for meter reading).
IAM 1 is on my A++ Fridge Freezer which has now used -2.09kwh (Appliance 2)
IAM 2 is on Living Room A/V which also powers 16 port switch, UPS and my Server (Appliance 2)
IAM 3 is on the Kitchen A/V and is just a little LCD TV which the graph says has used more power than mains coming in (Appliance 3)

Looking forward to the Meter Reading display in a few days but I suspect it also will not work properly as the OptiSmarts seem to add phantom power readings when the meter is on no load viewtopic.php?f=18&t=1738

The same OptiSmart is paired and is uploading via my old bridge and suffers no large spike.

Neither does the same two optismarts suffer any such spikes on my upload to http://pvoutput.org/list.jsp?id=4392&sid=3467 (click on daily).

Automan.

Got another spike, only 26Kw and this time on another IAM which is in the same room as the EnviR and Netsmart Bridge



I think we have some kind of a bug...

My fridge energy used today is still a little suspicious..

Automan.

Hi Automan, following up via email to work out this out. Chris
