Introduction
Wondrwall Light Switches use a row of six horizontal LEDs beneath the switch surface as diagnostic indicators. These LEDs are normally invisible but will light up during startup, software updates, or if there’s a connectivity or system issue. Understanding each pattern helps you pinpoint the switch’s status and next steps.
What Each LED Means
The LEDs are labelled from left to right (1–6).
| LED | When Solid (On) | When Flashing |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (far left) | Boot first stage running | Boot failed |
| 2 | Not connected to Wi-Fi | Attempting/failed Wi-Fi join |
| 3 | Boot (2nd stage)/Not started | Not commissioned/not paired |
| 4 | Booting | Not commissioned/not paired |
| 5 | Booting | No internet connection |
| 6 (far right) | Booting | Booting into recovery mode |
Tip: If all six LEDs are swirling from left to right, the switch is performing a firmware update. Allow it to complete before use.

Common Error Patterns & Solutions
| LED Pattern | What It Means | Troubleshooting Steps |
|---|---|---|
| 2 flashing, 3–6 solid | Wi-Fi missing/interference | 1. Ensure your router is on and broadcasting 2.4 GHz 2. Restart router 3. Relocate router/Use extender 4. See [Wi-Fi Troubleshooting Guide] |
| 3, 4, 6 solid, 5 flashing | No internet connection | 1. Test other device internet 2. Contact ISP if needed 3. Otherwise, follow [Light Switch Troubleshooting Guide] |
| 1 flashing (far left) | Boot failed | 1. Switch off lighting breaker for 5 seconds, then on 2. If repeated, contact Wondrwall Support |
| All LEDs swirling > 15 minutes | Stuck firmware upgrade | 1. Wait at least 15 minutes 2. Soft reset (breaker cycle) 3. Check internet connection |
-
Wait for automatic reboot.
-
If it persists, cycle the lighting circuit breaker for 5 seconds.
-
If still stuck, contact Wondrwall Support.
