7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause / Solution |
|---|---|
| Wi-Fi LED not flashing or not connecting to app |
|
| Meter not displaying readings |
|
| Impulse LED not flashing |
|
| Cannot reset energy counter to zero |
The energy counter on this device is typically cumulative and cannot be manually reset to zero by the user. It is designed to track total energy consumption over its lifetime. For billing or specific project monitoring, note down the initial reading or use the app's historical data features to track consumption over desired periods. |
