Understanding the Wemo® Mini
Smart Plug, F7C063 Status Lights

Body

Have you ever looked at your 

Wemo® Mini Smart Plug, F7C063

, noticed a light on it

and wondered what it means?  The light you see is the Wemo status light.  Depending
upon its behavior you can tell what state your Wemo is in, and use this article to assist
in troubleshooting any issues it is reporting.

First let’s talk about what this light is all about

The Wemo Mini has a single light on the front of it that tells you how it’s doing.  This is
an all in one Power and Status light.  

So what does this light mean for me?

There are six states that the status light can be in:

Blinking White 

- When you first plug in the Wemo Mini it will blink white to signify it is

starting up.  This should last about 

15 seconds

.

Solid White 

- When your Wemo Mini is configured, working properly, and turned on

(power flowing through the front outlet) the status light will be lit solid white.

Blinking Orange 

- A blinking orange light signifies that your Wemo has network

credentials stored in it (Wi-Fi name and password) but it is unable to connect to your
Wi-Fi.  Your Wemo will still follow any rules assigned to it but you will not be able to
control it with the Wemo App.

Solid Orange 

- A solid orange light is meant to show that your Wemo is still connected

to your Wi-Fi but is receiving a non-optimal signal.  Your Wemo will still follow any rules
assigned to it but you could face difficulties when controlling it with your Wemo App.
