    • Commands sent over Wi‑Fi to a Philips hue bridge will not cause the LED to blink.
  • Red/green slow pulse
    There may be an error with the Hub
    • If the LED is steadily blinking red and green for several minutes, then unplug the Hub for 10 seconds, then plug it back in. Otherwise, you may need to factory reset your Hub.

    If the LED is not blinking between red and green steadily every second, but turns solid red occasionally, then view the Solid red LED status section above.
