Default LED Color Meaning

LED color on the sensor have following meaning on default:

Color Meaning Duration
White power up 5s
Blinking Red low battery 1s
Blinking Yellow BLE advertising 3min
Blinking Light Blue BLE connected forever
Red to Green charging from 0%(red) to 100%(green) while charging

BLE advertising LED (blinking yellow) will stop in 5 minute if no connection happen. (Only LED is off, BLE advertising will continue forever.)

Charging LED will turn off after fully charged for 1 hour.

LED color can be controlled, command described in the LED section.

Reset the Sensor

Sensor can be reset with the following procedure:

Charge the sensor, and then discharge it after 3~4 seconds. If success, white light will turn on for 5 second, otherwise the discharge timing might not be right, try it again.

Sensor Mode and Connectivity

Mode Behavior
Shipment advertising stop, low current consume, activate to advertising mode when charged
Advertising advertise BLE packet every 1s, ready for connect
Connected advertising stop, ready for data transfer

Shipment mode is a sensor mode that the sensor is stop advertising, and remain in very low current consume, can be activate to advertising mode by plug in the charger.

New sensor is under shipment mode when received.

Sensor will stay in advertising mode continuously, and enter shipment mode under the following situation:

  • Battery level is under 6%
  • Received the enter shipment mode command 0x09

Each sensor can only connect one device at a time, once it is connected, advertising will stop.
