Consumption displayed on Solarman App not working as it should?

I have a bluesun BSE6KL1 hybrid solar inverter  (rebadged Megarevo R6KL), battery storage, tied to the grid but no feed-in tarriff.

The Solarman App displays the input to the inverter from the PV panels, battery charge/discharge, Grid In/out and “consumption”.

I understand that the “consumption” figure should reflect what energy the house is using. Sadly it only displays 11 watts… Any thoughts?

    Actually, just looking at the Solarman webpage, they say this about consumption data …

    So there may be a missing feed from the inverter

    Hey @Tadd 

     

    Welcome to the Forum.

     

    I’m glad to see one of our volunteers, BPLightlog has already stopped by to help you out. 

     

    There are a number of settings depending on need

    I was initially referring to the data consumption part but it will depend on what part you’re missing. 
    As for the CT, it should be on the live feed from your meter pointing towards the distribution (or fuse) board

     

    Let us know how you get on with this advice, hopefully that starts to nudge you in the right direction.

    For me the issue was that my firmware was 2 versions behind. Megarevo has upgraded firmware remotely.  I now have consumption data in my Solarman app.
