- Check your internet connection on your smartphone.
- Ensure the device is still connected to Wi-Fi (check the Wi-Fi indicator on the device).
- Restart the app and try again.
Frequent Power Trips due to Leakage Protection:
- If the device trips three times due to leakage protection, it will not automatically reconnect. This indicates a persistent electrical fault.
- Immediately disconnect the load and consult a qualified electrician to identify and resolve the leakage issue. Do not attempt to bypass the protection.
Incorrect Energy Readings:
- Verify that the current transformer (CT) is correctly installed and oriented according to the wiring diagram.
- Ensure the device is properly calibrated (if calibration options are available in the app or device settings).
