How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: No high-voltage work is needed for this issue.

  • Check internet access: Confirm other devices on the same network can reach the internet.
  • Restart network equipment: Power cycle your modem and router. Wait until internet is fully restored.
  • Check Emporia status: Visit Emporia’s support site or status page (if available) to see if there is a known cloud outage.
  • Update firmware: When connectivity is partially restored, use the Emporia app to check for and install any available firmware updates for the charger.
  • If E12 persists only on this charger: Perform a factory reset according to the Emporia manual, then re-add the charger to your account. If still failing, the network firmware on the control board may be corrupted and the board may need replacement.
