Frequently Asked Questions

How does LightDey detect power status?

LightDey combines hardware-verified IoT telemetry (from paired Tuya smart plugs across neighborhood nodes) with real-time crowd pings. Our statistical engine filters anomalies to establish verified voltage presence.

How do I find my exact Feeder and Injection Substation?

Check your physical or electronic electricity bill. The bill explicitly identifies your Feeder Name and Distribution Substation (DSS) code (e.g., 33-OWORO-INJ-T1-FDR denotes the 33kV Oworonsoki Injection Substation, Transformer 1).

What does the Feeder Stability ($S_s$) metric mean?

Feeder Stability is a Statistical Process Control (SPC) metric measuring switching jitter and voltage fluctuations. A rating below 0.95 flags unstable power, indicating that inductive loads like water pumps and deep freezers should not be started.

What is an Anchor Node?

An Anchor Node is a smart plug or IoT monitor connected to a local socket. When plugged in, it streams continuous grid voltage data to LightDey, providing hardware verification for your street.
