Check the connections especially any crimp you may have made and the terminal where the sense wire connects into the Smartshunt. Also check the fuse, sometimes these can be loose in the holder.

Do you have a common earth/ground/negative between the starter battery and the house system?

Your shunt must still be under warranty. Please contact your dealer for warranty service.
