The app won't connect over Bluetooth
Check that the unit has power, then check the app's permissions.
1. Plug the unit in
The Bluetooth and WiFi radios need power. A brand-new unit sitting in the box won’t show up in the app. Plug it into a live pedestal first.
2. Use the right app
Each generation has its own app. See Which app do I need?
3. Allow Bluetooth for the app
This often happens after an app or phone update. Turning on Bluetooth for the phone isn’t enough. The app needs permission too:
- Open your phone’s Settings → Apps → Power Watchdog.
- Turn on Bluetooth access.
- On Android, open Permissions and make sure nothing is listed under Denied.
