Step-by-Step Solution

1

Check valve fault status

Confirm no active fault is preventing open action.

2

3

Run reopen test and confirm restored normal flow.

Quick Solutions

Refresh command session

Test reopen with local and remote control paths

Still having issues? This is usually the deeper cause below.

If this comes back after following these steps, check whether a recent app or firmware update reset a default setting — the fix works, but the setting gets reverted silently.

Pro Tip

Remote valve recovery should include local safety-state checks.
