Troubleshooting Guide

If you encounter any issues with the WaterFlowKit, try the following steps:

General Troubleshooting Steps

1. Ensure All Cables Are Securely Connected

   • Verify that the USB-C power cable is securely connected to both the WaterFlowKit and the power adapter.
   • Ensure the waterflow sensor cables are properly attached and clicked in the connectors.

2. Check the Power Source

   • Make sure the power adapter is plugged into a working electrical outlet.
   • Ensure the power cable is not damaged and is functioning properly.

3. Restart the WaterFlowKit

   • Unplug the power cable from the WaterFlowKit, wait for 10 seconds, and then plug it back in.

4. Restart Home Assistant

   • Sometimes a simple restart of Home Assistant can resolve connectivity or integration issues. Navigate to Settings > System > Restart within Home Assistant.

5. Update Home Assistant

   • Ensure you are running the latest version of Home Assistant. Go to Settings > System > Updates to check for and install any available updates.

WiFi Connectivity Issues

1. Check WiFi Signal Strength

   • Ensure that the WaterFlowKit is within range of your WiFi router. Weak signal strength can cause connectivity issues.
   • If necessary, move the WaterFlowKit closer to the router or use a WiFi extender to improve signal strength.

2. Reconnect to WiFi

   • If the WaterFlowKit is not connecting to your WiFi network, try reconnecting:
     1. Power off the WaterFlowKit.
     2. Power it back on and connect to the WiFi hotspot named 'waterflowkit' with the password 'waterflowkit'.
     3. Follow the on-screen instructions to select and connect to your WiFi network.

3. Check WiFi Network Configuration

   • Ensure your WiFi network is set to 2.4 GHz, as the WaterFlowKit does not support 5 GHz networks.
