Regular SmartThings hub LED status indicator

Here’s what each LED color means on a regular SmartThings hub and how to fix any issues:

  • No light: The hub has no power. Plug the hub into a suitable power source.

  • Green for several seconds: The hub is powered on.

  • Green blinking: This could mean the system is booting, processing, upgrading, or completing its setup. It should stop blinking after a short while.

  • Solid green: Internet is available or Wi-Fi is turned on.

  • Red blinking: An error has occurred. This could also mean the hub is overheating. Unplug the hub until it has cooled down and then plug it back in.
