Meter PDUs allow you to see power consumption and remotely power cycle attached devices if a hard reboot is required. They can be found by clicking Hardware > PDUs in the left-hand sidebar. This will bring you to the PDUs overview page. Clean Shot2025 10 08at13 21 14@2x Pn You’ll see your list of PDUs along with their status here. Select a PDU to see it in more detail. From the Insights page you can see historical stats about this PDU including power consumption, current, temperature, and other details. You can change this to be as close as the last hour or up to the past 30 days as well as narrow it down to specific outlets on this particular PDU. Clean Shot2025 10 08at13 21 53@2x Pn If you click on the Outlets tab you’ll see the details of each outlet on this PDU specifically. During your Meter Network installation, Meter will designate which outlets are connected to which Meter device. Clean Shot2025 10 08at13 22 38@2x Pn Please do not change this in either the dashboard or in what is physically plugged into the PDU as this may cause issues during troubleshooting when devices need to be power cycled. If something else is plugged into an outlet that a Meter device should be plugged into, the wrong device may be power cycled. If you click on the label of an outlet you’ll see a few details including:
  • The Label
  • Whether it’s Enabled (that is, whether it’s on and allowing power to pass)
  • A delay in seconds
  • The connected device, if it’s a Meter device
To cycle power on the PDU, click the … button in the top right, and select Cycle Power. This will disable power to the outlet, waiting for the specific delay before re-enabling power to the outlet. You can also disable or enable the outlet port by selecting Disable under the same action menu. Clean Shot2025 10 08at13 23 26@2x Pn Please be careful when you are power cycling or powering off any device, as this can severely impact the availability of your network, including taking it down entirely. If you have any questions or would like assistance, please contact Meter Support. If you have any questions about PDUs or need further assistance, feel free to contact Meter Support at support@meter.com or submit a ticket on the Meter Dashboard.
