Direction of current coils
#1
Since yesterday, after a power failure, the shown power values are inversed. 
My consumption is shown as a negative value, and the production from my solar panels is shown as positive values.
So I needed to switch the direction of the current measurements.
Why is this happening? I connected the current coils over the main leads with the arrows in the direction of my home.

In your documentation there is a drawing of the connections of these coils. You can see that the arrows on the coils are from the left to the right, so in fact from the house to the power net.
Is this correct? Because I suppose the current direction should be from the power net to the house. So I believe the arrows are drawn in the wrong direction.
Since the documentation is very poor about this, give me a clear answer or drawing how to connect the current coils over the wires in a correct way.

Hello,

the direction of the arrows on the coils is from the power to the house. The consumption direction.

I don't find the informations with the wrong direction in the drawing. Can you send me a link?

By the way. There is a new Softwareversion.

Best regards Jens

Hi Jens,

We reverted the coils now like it's drawed in the manual and reverted direction software parameter in the webinterface.
But is there a specific cause that will change the direction?
This happend after a power failure. Do you have knowledge that this can cause a reversion of the power parameters?

BTW: Where can I see the current software version? In the REST API this parameter is empty.

Thanks

Hi Davidvb,

you can see the current Softwareversion at Github:

Hello,

I mean the version of the installed software on the smartpi.
In the answer from the API this field is always empty. 
So I do not know which version is installed.
