The controller has one status light. Most of the time it shows the controller’s connection. For 5 seconds after a press of the HOA button, it shows the pump’s HOA state instead.
Alarms are not shown on the status light. A critical alarm switches on the separate alarm light. See Alarms.
The pattern says what the light is doing.
| Pattern | Looks like |
|---|---|
| Solid | Steady |
| Blinking | On and off in one color |
| Alternating | Switches between two colors, fast or slow |
| Flash | A single brief flash |
The colors do not mean the same thing as on the InteliHive. On the InteliHive, red always means a fault. Here, red during an HOA press just means the pump is set to Off.
When the controller is set up and online, the status light is solid green.
| Light | Means | Do |
|---|---|---|
| 🟢 Solid green | Connected to the cloud. The normal state. | Nothing to do |
| 🟢 Blinking green | Trying to connect to the cloud — also how a new controller waits to be set up | Run Setup, or check the site’s WiFi |
| 🔵🟢 Alternating fast (every ¼ s), blue and green | A phone is connected directly, and the controller is also online | Someone is working on it |
| 🔵🟢 Alternating slow (every ½ s), blue and green | A phone is connected directly, and the controller has no cloud connection | Finish Setup. If you did not expect a phone, see Troubleshooting |
| 🟢🔴 Alternating fast, green and red | Cloud connection failed | Check the site’s WiFi and internet — see Troubleshooting |
| ⚪ Solid white | A firmware update is running | Leave it until it finishes |
| ⚪ Flash white | Checking for new firmware | Nothing to do |
| 🟡 Solid yellow | All networks off — normal briefly during start-up, and during the reboot after a factory reset | Wait for it to change |
| 🩷 Solid pink, for 5 s | The controller’s own network was re-enabled by a button press. Shown only after 5 minutes with no local connection. | Scan the QR code within 5 minutes — see Setup |
For 5 seconds after a short press of the HOA button:
| Light | HOA state | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| 🟠 Solid orange | Auto | The sequence of operation controls the pump. The normal state. |
| ⚪ Solid white | On (Hand) | Forces the pump on for 5 minutes |
| 🔴 Solid red | Off | Keeps the pump off |
After 5 seconds the light returns to its connection status. See The HOA button.
