Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at 192.168.1.4”
Couple hours reviewing entire wiki before attempting 1st connect and then did ‘connecting’ step by step (at age 72 I study first).
9vm & 5v. >> brief green, pause, RGG . >>
Cellphone showed ‘iota12707449’ (not ESPnnnnnn) tried to log on (2.4Ghz) >>
Psswrd rqstd >> copied / pasted from wiki ‘IotaWatt’ >> Pswrd incorrect >>
Trblshoot rcmnd : IoTaWatt.local/command?disconnect=yes
>> “Unable to connect
Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at 192.168.1.4” (same as initial above never gets to config display shown in wiki >>
Tried many permutations and other suggestions. Occasionally RGG would go RRG. I pwr cycled >>
brief G pause RGG as initial.
Cracked SD removing to see files stored >> wouldn’t reboot >> RRG
Per your suggestion new SD (64GB SanDisk) cloned gits you sent to SD root >>
Still won’t boot but get RRG but / and don’t see a network on phone (or laptop).
Would like to send iotawatt unit back for eval / repair / qualification. Will hang on to CTs and wait for return. I will pay postage and inlude both SD’s (the broken and my clone).
Do I need an RMA or other? Please advise how to proceed.
I appreciate the help and apologize for the trouble.
