LED Status codes

The dongle has two LEDs, a Bluetooth status LED (blue), and an error LED (red).

On power-up, both LEDs will be on or alternating quickly (fast blinking).

When both LEDs are on, the dongle contains valid firmware and will act as VE.Direct gateway. When both LEDs stay on, something is wrong with the communication on VE.Direct.

When the LEDs are alternating quickly, the dongle is in firmware update mode and it will show up as dongle in VictronConnect. After connecting, a firmware update can be performed. When the dongle already contains valid firmware, it will fall back to normal operation after 30 seconds.
