Understanding the LED on your SpotProtect Sensor:

When first powered on, the LED will flash green while looking for an authorized Wi-Fi network, then go off when connected. If the LED flashes red one of the following issues is occurring;

  1. 1 Red Flash: Wi-Fi security credentials are denied. (Use the Setup Utility to re-enter the correct Wi-Fi security credentials.)
  2. 2 Red Flashes: Wi-Fi connected but failed to resolve network settings (DHCP/DNS). (Check the DHCP is enabled on your Wi-Fi router or assign a static IP to your sensor using the Setup Utility.)
  3. 3 Red Flashes: Wi-Fi connected, network resolved, but unable to access internet. (Check that your Wi-Fi router has an active internet connection.)

Note: By default the lights will only flash upon power-up or sensor programming to let you know if there are any issues. If you would like the LED to flash during normal operation (to signify radio communication), this setting can be enabled in your sensor configurations through the SpotProtect Portal. Turning on this feature can impact battery life.
