I have a RFX meter with photo sensor. I'm running homeseer and using the RFXcom plugin.
I want to monitor the yield. The problem is that the RFX meter is not working correctly as in the case there is no sun the LED of the energy meter is continuously on.
This result in no operation at all. When I turn off and on the RFXMeter when the sun is shining (LED energy meter is blinking) the yield will be registered in Homeseer.
Ofcourse I can solve this issue by continuously turn off and on the RFXmeter. But I assume that there are other ways to resolve this issue.
Who has an idea?

Re: RFX Meter with photosensor and photo pholtaic system
What probably helps is covering up the sensor with something like a dark cloth, so that the sunlight cannot influence the sensor.
After that you probably need to turn the pot-meter (as described in de manual) to a position where every turn/pulse you see the rfx-com led blinking.
At first I had no blinking led or the LED was always on. I opened up the rfx-box and then connected the sensor and the 220V power.
Then I turned the pot-meter in the running system until the LED was blinking on every turn/pulse.
