Understanding Light Flash Indications

Video Tutorial: Watch the companion video V52: Understanding Light Flash Indications for a visual walkthrough.

Overview

Keilton+autani fixtures communicate status through flash patterns. Understanding these patterns helps you confirm successful operations and troubleshoot problems efficiently.

Flash Pattern Categories

Category	Pattern Type	Meaning
Success	Slow flash	Operation completed successfully
Failure	Quick flash	Operation failed
Process	Cycling on/off	Operation in progress
Connection	Reboot	Network connection established

Slow Flash Patterns (Success)

3 Slow Flashes

Indicates successful completion of:

Operation	Result
IR remote disable BLE signal	Success
IR remote enable BLE signal	Success
IR remote reset to factory	Success
Delete lights from app	Success
Manual reset to factory	Success
OTA firmware update	Success
Delete from group	Success
Add to group	Success
Add schedule	Success
Add scene	Success
Delete scene	Success
Bind to switch	Success

1 Slow Flash

Operation	Result
Sensor settings applied	Success

Quick Flash Patterns (Failure)

10 Quick Flashes

Indicates failure of:

Operation	Issue
OTA firmware update	Update failed
Auto calibration	Calibration failed

Action: Retry operation. For calibration, see troubleshooting in V42.

3 Quick Flashes

Operation	Issue
Add schedule	Incorrect parameters

Action: Review schedule settings and correct parameters.

Cycling Patterns (In Progress)

On/Off 4-8 Times

Operation	Status
Auto calibration	Self-learning in progress

Note: This is normal behavior, not an error. Wait for completion.

Reboot Pattern

Light Restarts

Operation	Status
Add lights to network	Connection established

Note: Normal behavior when joining mesh network.

No Indication

Scenario	Meaning
Schedule failure (other reasons)	Failed but no flash
Light offline	Not receiving commands
Out of range	Not connected to mesh

Action: Check app for error messages; verify power and connectivity.

Manual factory reset	Slow flash 3x
OTA update success	Slow flash 3x
OTA update failure	Quick flash 10x
Delete from group	Slow flash 3x

Add schedule (success)	Slow flash 3x
Add schedule (bad params)	Quick flash 3x
Add schedule (other fail)	No indication
Add scene	Slow flash 3x
Delete scene	Slow flash 3x
Bind to switch	Slow flash 3x
Auto calibration process	On/off 4-8x
Auto calibration failure	Quick flash 10x
Sensor settings applied	Slow flash 1x

Troubleshooting by Pattern

Seeing Quick Flashes

Pattern	Issue	Solution
10 quick after OTA	Firmware update failed	Retry update
10 quick after calibration	Calibration failed	Retry in different conditions
3 quick after schedule	Bad parameters	Review schedule settings

No Response

Observation	Issue	Solution
No flash at all	Light offline	Check power
No flash at all	Out of mesh range	Check connectivity
Command sent, no response	Network issue	Verify mesh connection

Unexpected Cycling

Pattern	Likely Cause	Action
Continuous on/off	Calibration in progress	Wait for completion
Random cycling	Possible interference	Check for conflicts

Quick Interpretation Guide

What You See	What It Means
3 slow flashes	Success! Operation completed.
1 slow flash	Sensor settings saved.
10 quick flashes	Failure. Retry needed.
3 quick flashes	Schedule parameter error.
On/off cycling	Calibration in progress.
Light reboots	Network connection made.
No response	Check power/connectivity.
