I used to be able to access iotawatt.local and configure things
after i confiugred influxDB data uploader, i can no longer access this and it’s just spinning there
There’s no factory reset button or anything so how do i fix this?
What is the state of the LED?
It’s green normally. When I tried to connect to it and it turned red for a second or two, then went back green
Are you using influxDB1 or influxDB2. Are you using the HTTPS proxy server? How long has the IoTaWatt been installed and gathering data? Has any data been uploaded to influx and if so, what is the date and time of last update?
Using InfluxDB2. No data uploaded. I’ve installed the device for a week or so.
Have you tried a power cycle? (unplug the USB power supply from the IoTaWatt)
If so, what does the LED do when you restore power?
Yes it didn’t work. Light was green then red then blinking green then solid green
OK, I don’t recognize that LED behavior as described, but its clear this won’t be resolved with this approach. I suspect a problem with either the influx server or WiFi.
With solid green, the unit is apparently still monitoring and logging power, so I don’t think the firmware is hung up on anything.
I’d like to see both the message log and the config file. The only way to get at that without the app is to power the unit down, open it up, remove the SDcard and mount it in another computer. I am interested in the following files:
/config.txt
/iotawatt/iotamsgs.txt
You could upload them to me via PM (click on my emoji and select “message”).
If you are unable to do this, you can send the unit to me and I’ll diagnose, test and return the unit.

Include your original order number as an RMA.
I think there’s something wrong with influxDB server connection maybe - and somehow it took down the app.
I can dissemable the unit and read SD card - I was wondering if there’s anything easier than this lol.
I’ll send you the files if i can’t figure out what’s happening from the logs.
I guess I could also manually tweak the config txt to fix the server connection
Be sure to check it with Json LINT if you alter it.
so it seems like the device has been restarting every min or so
I can’t send you the whole file since it’s 24 mb (more than 4 mb limit)
but it’s basically this repeated messages
