Status light meanings

For HomeKit-compatible and Matter-compatible firmware:

With ESPHome firmware, the LED is a standard Home Assistant light entity. The status meanings below do not apply.

LightWhat it means
OffThe controller is operating normally.
White solidStarting up; normally turns off when the web interface is available, after about five seconds. A new Matter-compatible controller stays white until added to an app.
White slow pulseA firmware update is in progress. Do not disconnect power. If the update does not finish, see OTA update fails or the controller does not respond.
White fast blinkThe identification function is active. The light turns off after three seconds.
Blue slow pulseThe setup Wi-Fi network is waiting for a connection. On Matter-compatible firmware this is a recovery network; initial pairing uses Bluetooth.
Blue fast blinkThe controller is connecting with the Wi-Fi credentials you entered. This may take up to 30 seconds.
Blue solidReconnecting after Wi-Fi loss, on boards without a separate blue Wi-Fi LED. See Wi-Fi troubleshooting.
Green solidConfirmation: the controller connected to Wi-Fi or paired with a Serin Link. The light remains on for a few seconds.
Red solidNo response over CN105. See CN105 troubleshooting.
Red fast blink, then stopsThe most recent action failed. The Wi-Fi credentials may be incorrect, or Serin Link pairing was unsuccessful.
Red fast blink, continuousThe indoor unit is reporting an error code. The web interface displays the code.
Yellow slow pulseSafe mode after repeated crashes. See safe-mode recovery.
Purple slow pulseA Serin Link pairing window is open.
Orange fast blinkThe paired Serin Link was removed. The light blinks for two seconds, then the controller restarts.
Cyan slow pulseThe controller is on your network and has not been added to an app (Matter-compatible firmware).
Cyan fast blinkA pairing process is in progress (Matter-compatible firmware).

Setup signals take priority over faults. Holding the board button overrides the current signal.

Button hold actions

These actions apply to HomeKit-compatible and Matter-compatible firmware. See Change Wi-Fi or Restart and reset for the full procedures.

Pairing actions happen on release. The Wi-Fi reset happens during the hold, at 10 seconds.

Hold timeLightAction
2 to 7 secondsPurple solidRelease to open a Serin Link pairing window or remove the current pairing. Releasing while a pairing window is open cancels it.
7 to 10 secondsRed fast blinkNo action. Release the button during this interval to cancel.
10 secondsRed fast blinkErases the stored Wi-Fi credentials and restarts immediately, while the button is still pressed.

On boards with a button but no RGB LED, the same press durations apply, but no visual indicator is available.
