What do you think about the lights on your echo device?
If you are planning to get an echo device without a screen, it is important for you to understand the different light symbols that are used to indicate a state.The blue spinning light is one of the most common colors that you can get and there are different reasons that might cause your echo to spin the light in blue.There are a few possibilities and patterns shown.
A constantly spinning blue light can mean two things.
The first mode would be the pairs mode.When your device is in the pairing mode, it will not respond to any commands and you will see a ring of blue light on your echo device.To fix that issue, you will need to pair your device with a phone and the light will go away once you have done that.
There is a software update running in the background that can cause a circle of blue light.The software on your echo device is being updated if you see a constant circle of blue light spinning and you also have your phone with you.You won't be able to use the device during this process.The update will allow you to use the device again.
To differentiate between the two possibilities, you will need to use the phone.If the device is not pair, that means it needs to be pair to work, and if it is pair and connected, it means the firmware is being updated.
It will take a few moments to process the command you give.The processing period on the device will be indicated by a blue circle, so you can know that it has heard you and is working on that.There is nothing to be worried about.All you have to do is sit tight and let it do the hard work for you.
There is another catch for you.You have to give any commands.A flash of purple will appear on the ring after it spins blue light.The purple flash at the end indicates that you have Do Not Disturb mode enabled, which is what this means.It is good for you if you have enabled it.If you haven't enabled it, you will need to log in to your application to turn it off.
