Hello all!
Please see my attached pictures, my "home" regularly reads 0w, and doesn't read correctly for a while. Equally it will work fine for a little while, there doesn't seem to be a pattern.

I have checked the CT clamp is fitted correctly.

I have checked the CT clamp wires in to the CHINT meter, these are tight and good.

I have checked the CHINT meter screen itself when scrolling through, it is showing the wattage reading ALL the time, i.e. the CHINT meter is never dropping out a measurement.

I have checked the ethernet wires into the CHINT meter, these are good and tight.

I have turned off the inverter, removed the plug in the bottom and checked the ethernet wires into the plug. These are good and tight.

The inverter is set to Meter. If it is set to CT it doesn't read correctly (solar and home always show the same wattage and grid just sits around 1w)

When I do a Meter communication check it says unknown state. If I set it to CT it says it communicates fine.

Please help!

The CT clamp is backwards, although the inverters seem to have a setting to compensate as well.

I don't think the CT clamp is backwards, because when it is working I can see it is displaying correctly.

Right now I have:
Solar 86w
Grid importing 525w
Home 611w

That all adds up fine.

It's on the wrong wire then, very long thread the other day with a similar problem, but the house load shouldn't be negative.

I'll look into that thanks.

My first issue though is the app regularly showing 0w for home. Any thoughts on this? As per the screenshot above.
