    • 3 ORANGE flashes
    • 2 GREEN flashes
• The LEFT LED shows power status:
  • Solid GREEN = Device is powered on

Inclusion Mode (Zigbee Pairing)

• After startup, the RIGHT LED will slowly flash ORANGE, indicating the device is in Zigbee inclusion mode.
• If the LED is not flashing, inclusion was unsuccessful. Retry the pairing process.

LED Indicator Overview

• LEFT LED (Power Indicator):
  • Solid GREEN → Device has power
• RIGHT LED (Zigbee/SDN Communication):
  • Flashing ORANGE → Inclusion Mode
  • Flashing ORANGE & GREEN → Communicating with motor
