The Amazon Echo integrate an LED lighting system capable of changing color . Thanks to it you can obtain information in a very visual way about what is happening. Of course, it is important that you know what each of these colors means. So, let’s check it out.
Amazon Echo and status lights
The first time you turn on your Amazon Echo to configure it, you realize that there is a circle that lights up around the speaker itself. This serves not only serves to indicate when it is listening to you, through a color-coded system it gives you information about what is happening. For example, if there is some kind of problem with the Wi-Fi connection.
The problem is that few users know what each of them means and when it turns on in a specific tone they spend a good time trying to find out what’s going on. So, we thought that it might be useful to know the meaning of each color of the lights on your Amazon Echo .
- Blue circle: when the indicator on your Amazon Echo lights up blue, it indicates that it is processing your request. In other words, you activate the loudspeaker with the command “Alexa, …” and that indicator lights up in blue so that you know that it is listening to you and will process what you have requested.
- White circle: the white indicator refers to the volume adjustment. When you press one of the buttons for volume control or give it the order to set it to a certain level, the indicator will be white, so that if it is completely off, the volume is at 0% and if it forms the complete circle is 100%.
- Red circle: with this color the interesting indicators begin. Red is used to warn the user that the microphones are off. Also for the camera in the case of the Echo Show. So, you only have to mute it to reactivate it and it will work normally to your voice requests. However, beware, because the red color is also used to warn when there is a problem such as lack of Wi-Fi connectivity. So watch out, if pressing the mute button is still on, the problem is another.
- Yellow circle: the first time you see the yellow indicator you are surprised, but do not fear because it is not an error. This color is used to warn you that there is some kind of notification pending to be heard. They are usually referring to shipments of products purchased via Amazon. So, when you see the indicator of this color say “Alexa, what notifications or messages do I have”. Your speaker will respond to you and give all warnings.
- Orange circle: when the indicator is orange and turns the message is that the device is being configured or connecting to the internet. If your Wi-Fi network has fallen and you still haven’t noticed, your Amazon Echo is a good way to know that you can have a wired connection, but not wirelessly.
- Green Circle: through this light your Amazon Echo indicates that you are receiving a call. This is a function that you should know that it is possible to use to communicate with other users or between your own devices.
- Purple circle: the purple color is an indicator of a failure in the wifi configuration and that the Do not disturb function is active.
Alexa, what does your light mean
As you can see, this light code is quite practical once you know what each one means or means. It is something easy to memorize and only the purple or orange can be more easily forgotten as they are less common. But if at any time you have doubts, you either remember and consult this article or you say “Alexa, what does your light mean” and it will respond.
