nous D4Z Smart Energy Monitor
Description
The Zigbee NOUS D4Z smart energy monitor is a monitoring device that consists of a 18mm-width (1MW) monitor installed at DIN rail and three split-core current transformers (CTs). Functioning as a professional 3-phase energy meter, it accurately measures real time voltage, current, power and energy data, with wireless and/or wired communication options available for data transmission.
NOTE: You will need a Nous E1, Nous E7 or other Tuya compatible ZigBee gateway/hub to connect.
The connection of a smart socket to the Internet cannot be guaranteed in all cases, as it depends on many conditions: the quality of the communication channel and intermediate network equipment, the make and model of the mobile device, the version of the operating system, etc.

| 10 | 10 To delete all data from the smart socket, in the device menu, you need “Delete device”, “disabled and delete all data” |
| When the device is removed from the device list of the application user, the settings of the smart socket will be reset to factory values and it will be necessary to shorten the procedure of connecting to the Wi-Fi network again. If the password for the Wi-Fi access point was entered incorrectly, then after the timer expires, a “failed to connect to Wi-Fi” window appears in the application with step-by-step instructions to fix the problem. | |
How to connect your device to Alexa
| 1 | Sign in with your Alexa account and password (if you’re not already signed in, sign up first); After logging in, click the menu in the upper left corner, then click “Settings” and select “Set up a new device”; |
