Yes — even if you moved the device “just a little,” a reconfiguration is very likely needed.

Smartvatten optical devices capture water meter readings with millimeter-level precision.
Because of this, even a small movement — bumping the device, cleaning around it, or rotating it slightly — can cause the camera or sensor to misalign.

When the device is moved, even if placed “back where it was,” these conditions may no longer be perfectly aligned. As a result, the device may:

  • read incorrect values

  • stop reading entirely

  • show sudden spikes or drops in consumption

  • send incomplete or inconsistent data to the API

If the device was moved — even slightly — we strongly recommend contacting
