Light codes

Light codes

On specific tasks and contexts, the tag will show light effects. These light effects should be understood as light codes, as they identify a specific system state or system task result.

The light codes, and their meanings are listed below:
  1. Entering active mode
    Light will blink once in a green color.

  2. Entering sleep mode
    Light will blink once in magenta.

  3. Unpaired tag
    After entering active mode, if the tag is not paired, or while the connection with the add-on is not completed, it will remain glowing blue.

  4. Paired tag
    After entering active mode, if the tag is paired and the connection with the add-on is completed, the light will be off (ready for user light actions) and it will briefly vibrate once.

  5. Charging
    When the tag is placed on top of the wireless charger, or connected to a USB-C cable, it will start glowing as follows;
    1.  Red  - tag battery level is low
    2.  Yellow  - charge is around halfway
    3.  green  - charge nearing completion
