4. FAQ — Symphon-E App Shelly Meter

Why is it that no voltage/current/power value is displayed?

One reason for this may be that an incorrect IP address has been entered.

Please ensure that you have entered the correct IP address.

The current/power value is displayed as a negative value.

The Shelly app displays the consumption value as a negative value if the device is integrated as a production meter.

In this case, the negative display is correct as it represents the current generated.
