4.2 Introduction to the function of indicator lights
MESH
LED
1. The red light is on during the boot process, the boot is completed, the
red light is off and the green light is on
2. Press the mesh button to enter the mesh pairing state, the green light
flashes once a second, and the other lights are off
3. The main device network is normal, the green and blue lights are on at
the same time (cyan)
4. The MESH connection of the slave device is successful, the green light
and the red light are on at the same time (orange) when the distance is far
away, the green light and the blue light are on at the same time (cyan)
when the distance is suitable
