No Power to One or Both Sides of Smart SplitterUpdated 2 hours ago
Quick Diagnostics
If one or both outlets on your Smart Splitter have no power, follow these steps in order:
Step 1: Check the SEC (Secondary) Side
If the SEC outlet has no power:
- Check app schedules
- Open the NeoCharge app
- Go to your Smart Splitter settings
- Look for any active schedules
- Disable all schedules temporarily to test
- Check external schedules
- Your EV may have scheduled charging enabled
- Your EVSE may have its own schedule settings
- Temporarily disable these to isolate the issue
- Verify time settings
- Ensure your Smart Splitter has the correct time zone
- Check that current time matches your location
Step 2: Perform the Swap Test
This quickly identifies if it's an outlet issue or equipment issue:
- Unplug both devices from the Smart Splitter
- Swap the plugs - Put the PRI device in SEC outlet and vice versa
- Test both outlets again
Interpreting swap test results:
- Same outlet still dead → Outlet-specific issue, likely hardware
- Problem follows the device → Issue with that specific device/charger
- Both work after swap → May have been a connection issue
Step 3: Test Basic Functionality
- Try a simple device like a lamp in each outlet
- Check the LED indicatorson the Smart Splitter
- Green = Power available
- Red = Power limited/managed
- No light = Check main power supply
Step 4: Power Cycle the System
- Turn off the circuit breaker for 30 seconds
- Turn breaker back on
- Wait 2 minutes for Smart Splitter to fully boot
- Test outlets again
Step 5: Check Input Power
Ensure the Smart Splitter itself is receiving power:
- Check your electrical panel - Breaker should be ON
- Verify inlet connection if using plug-in model
- Check for tripped GFCI if applicable
- Test voltage at input with multimeter if available
