No LED
When initially plugging in any pod into an outlet, the light should always turn solid for a moment, and then the LED will slowly pulse while it is trying to connect to the cloud. Once connected to our cloud, the LED will then turn off.
If there is no light at all when first plugging in the pod, check your outlet with another appliance or device to ensure it has power. If the outlet is okay, there may be something wrong with the pod and should be replaced.
Blinking LED on PowerPod (white) or SuperPod (green)
This could mean either of the following:
- Quick, repeating Double blinks - Pod is waiting for optimization to finish: You will also see “Optimizing your network” message in the app as well. Optimizations usually take a 2-3 minutes, depending on how many pods are connected. Optimizations can be triggered by a change in your environment such as high levels of interference, but will also happen overnight and immediately after initial setup.
- Quick Double blinks - Pod is being named by scanning the pod or the LED is set to locate.
- Slow continuous pulse/breathing (dim to bright) - PowerPod or SuperPod is trying to connect with the cloud and depending on the circumstances could mean the following:
- This is normal before adding the pod to the account, the slow pulse will continue until the pod is added to the account and establishes a connection to the cloud.
- The pod has lost connection to the rest of your network, which could be a result of extremely poor signal to other pods, especially if the other pods are still online and a "Network is offline" notification has not been received.
- Internet connectivity is lost. This is supposed to be followed by a "Network is offline” notification through the app.
- If you can’t see all the pods being claimed in your HomePass app and if you see the slow LED pulsing on the pod at the same time, the pod is most likely claimed by another household.
- Continuous rapid blinking on PowerPod (white) or SuperPod (red) - there may be an issue with the onboard software. RMA will need to be processed for pod.
- Slow continuous white blinking (PowerPod) or red blinking (SuperPod) - Possible fan failure. RMA will need to processed for pod. Contact Plume support
