# Understanding LED Patterns on Your Wondrwall Light Switch

## How to interpret LED signals on your Wondrwall Light Switch and resolve common issues quickly.

#### 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.

 

#### Normal Boot Sequences

#### For a Paired (Commissioned) Switch

1. Initial Boot: All six LEDs are on.
2. Second Phase: LEDs 2–6 remain on.
3. Wi-Fi Connected: LEDs 3–6 are on.
4. Boot Complete: All LEDs are off.

#### For an Unpaired (Uncommissioned) Switch

1. Initial Boot: All six LEDs are on.
2. Second Phase: LEDs 2–6 remain on.
3. Ready for Commission: LED 2 is solid and LED 4 is flashing; others are off.

#### 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 |

 **Recovery Mode (1, 3, and 6 flashing):**

- Wait for automatic reboot.
- If it persists, cycle the lighting circuit breaker for 5 seconds.
- If still stuck, contact Wondrwall Support.

#### Frequently Asked Questions

**Can the switch still function with LEDs lit?**  
Yes. Brief LED patterns during startup or updates are normal. Only error patterns that persist longer than one minute require action.

**What does a swirling LED pattern mean?**  
A firmware update is in progress. Wait up to 15 minutes.

**Is manual control available if the switch is offline?**  
Yes, you can always use the touch surface to turn your lights on or off.

**How do I know if the switch is offline?**

- In the Wondrwall App, the switch icon appears grey with “Offline.”
- On the device, LEDs 3, 4, and 6 will be solid and LED 5 flashes.

**Can I disable the LEDs?**  
No, these diagnostic lights turn off automatically when not needed.
