I brewed this nut brown yesterday and I do not see any happy yeast action. I have been brewing for a couple years and have never had this happen. What could have gone wrong?

Brewing for a couple of years and you ask this? You're a brave man! : )
A PH meter? I'd think a hydrometer would be more direct here?...
Hydrometer works great once active fermentation has begun but I was under the impression that the OP was worried about his beer less than 24 hours after pitching. If you take a pH reading during the initial phase of fermentation the gravity may not have dropped but the pH will if the yeast are alive and working. Good way to put your mind at ease when you see no activity early on.

It cost me an extravagant 68 dollars and is apparently useless according to you and your overwhelming knowledge of brewing and water chemistry. Good luck to the OP and by all means RDWHAHB.
