1st time Startup Help needed

Hi All,

I just received my first Iotawatt last week and am in the process of setting up but didn’t get very far.
I plugged it in, connected to my wifi network and the LED is glowing continuous green. I went to my browser and went to http://iotawatt.local, I’m getting the following error, any help would be appreciated???

This site can’t be reached

Check if there is a typo in iotawatt.local.

  • If spelling is correct, [try running Windows Network Diagnostics](javascript:diagnoseErrors()).

DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN

Not all home networks can properly resolve mDNS names, like “iotawatt.local”. To test this theory, determine the IP address being used by the IoTaWatt device, and then connect to it via “http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx”, where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address being used.

To determine the IP address, you may need to connect to your home network router’s web admin pages, and figure out the IP address by looking into the list of active DHCP clients.

Hope this helps!
