Taking a Manual Reading

CAUTION: You may accidentally put your gauge back into reset mode while attempting to take a manual reading.
We recommend waiting 6 hours after connecting your gauge to your WiFi for readings to start automatically.


Step 1

Hold down the button on the top of the gauge for about 5 seconds until you see the a yellowish / light green come on, then release. The light will blink blue a number of times while your gauge takes a manual reading. 

Caution: watch the light on your gauge carefully. If you see a red flash BEFORE you see the light blinking blue, you have accidentally put the gauge back into reset mode. That means that your gauge IS NOT LONGER connected to WiFi, and you will need to reconnect your gauge to your WiFi.


Step 2

When the light stops blinking blue, go to your Alice app. Click on Edit Gauge (top right corner), scroll to the bottom of Gauge Settings, and click on connection status. You should see Gauge is Connected and the date and time of the last reading. If this date and time are not very close to the time of your manual reading, your gauge may no longer be connected to your WiFi. Reconnect your gauge to your WiFi network and then try taking a manual reading again.

If that still does not work, please contact us at support@myalice.com.


Step 3

In your Alice app, click on the refresh button in the top right corner. You should now see the most recent tank level reading on the dashboard.
