Previous: LED signals

If the P1 dongle is not behaving like it should be, you can either reboot or reset it.

Reboot

Rebooting the device restarts it while keeps configuration settings stored. There are multiple ways to reboot the P1 dongle:

• Through the web interface
  You can trigger a reboot from the main web page by clicking on the Rebootbutton.
• Through Home Assistant
  If Home Assistant autodiscovery is enabled, there is a 'Utility meter debug' entity under the MQTT devices. By clicking on the Reboot switch, a reboot like above is triggered .
• Through MQTT
  If MQTT is enabled, sending the message {"value": "true"} to topic set/devices/utility_meter/reboot will trigger a reboot like above.
• With the reset button on the dongle
  There is a small button on the side of the P1 dongle. Pressing it will trigger a reboot of the device.
• Power cycling By disconnecting the dongle from its power source (the P1 port) and then reconnecting it, the device will be restarted like above.

Reset

You can reset the P1 dongle by pressing and holding the LED button. There are two types of reset available.

Wifi reset

Press and hold, release after 2 seconds. This will reset the wifi settings. After the reset, the P1 dongle will enter access point mode so you can configure it again.

Factory reset

Press and hold, release after 5 seconds. This will reset the dongle back to factory settings, erasing any personal information on the device. Warning: this will also disassociate the dongle with your EnergieID account (if configured).
