Pacific Gas and Electric Registration Troubleshooting:

  • Does PGE recognize your gateway as being connected on the Stream My Data page?
    1. Log into www.pge.com
    2. Click “Stream My Data” under My Usage & Ways to Save
    3. You will see the Chai Pro gateway here, if the status circle is red or orange, tap Connect to re-trigger the pairing process
  • If PG&E’s website states the following message at Step 3—”SmartMeter™ electric meters [0 available]” “There are no eligible electric SmartMeters at this address.”—you will need to contact PG&E so that they may register your gateway manually, or replace your meter with no charge to you.
  • If you are unable to pass Step 3 and receive the error below, you will need to reach out to PG&E to get you setup.
    • “We were unable to connect your device.
