Old iotawatt blinks green red red green

One of my Iotawatt’s that has been in use for two years just started blinking “green red red green pause”. A previous post indicated this was a problem during setup. This device has had no changes in configuration for over a year.

The config file can be updated for reasons other than configuration changes. You should still be able to access the unit with browser app and run the file manager. download the config.txt file and post it to me in a PM.

That sounds like an SDcard issue. Best advice is to replace it.

Remove/replace SDcard

Sometimes it becomes necessary to remove the microSD card. You may need to replace it or look at the message log if the device isn’t working, or maybe you want to back up the datalogs. For whatever reason, it’s best to be careful as the type of holder and position makes it easy to damage during removal. Power down the IoTaWatt by removing the USB power plug and AC reference plug. If mounted to a wall, remove the mounting screws. Remove the four Philips head screws in the back. Remo…

Building a new SDcard

It can become necessary to build a new SDcard. This post describes how to do that. IoTaWatt uses a microSD card, formatted to FAT32. New units use a 8GB level 10 card. Any card 4GB-32GB level 4 or 10 will work fine. Obtain a new microSD card or reformat an old card to FAT32. Download the SD files from github SD directory If using windows, this link will downlod the files into a .zip file. Copy the files to the root of the SDcard. If you were able to salvage the config.txt file from the ol…

Thanks for the doc pointers. I tried to use Windows Zip link but it requires a GitHup token. I tried to create a GitHub account but nothing works. I tried with both Chrome & Firefox.
Could you post the current file set Zip here? Or provide a pointer to one?

Thanks. I don’t mean to be a bother but I’m stuck for now.

Success!!! Thank you for all of your help, patience and excellent products.
In my case the logDiag.txt file was corrupted. Showed an 0x80070570 error on attempted copy.

The only aberration seems to be that Graphs+ has lost all saved graphs.

Thanks, Mike

The only aberration seems to be that Graphs+ has lost all saved graphs.

They were in the /graphs directory on the old card. If you can get them off you can upload them to the IoTaWatt using the file manager.
