electrum CLI - 'daemon is not connected'

3

1

I installed Electrum on my Raspberry Pi.

Then, I ran electrum create to make a wallet.

Then, I ran electrum daemon start to start the background process.

I'm currently trying to query the balance of my wallet (should be 0) from the command line using electrum getbalance

I get this error

[root@fish ~]# electrum getbalance
daemon is not connected

Daemon status:

[root@fish ~]# electrum daemon status
{
    "blockchain_height": 352760,
    "connected": false,
    "nodes": [
        "electrum.thwg.org:50002:s",
        "kirsche.emzy.de:50002:s",
        "ecdsa.net:110:s",
        "erbium1.sytes.net:50002:s",
        "electrum.drollette.com:50002:s",
        "eco-electrum.ddns.net:50002:s",
        "EAST.electrum.jdubya.info:50002:s"
    ],
    "server": "electrum.be",
    "server_height": 0
}

Note the "connected": false, field. What does this mean? Is it related to my node not working?
