LEDS
There are 2 LEDs on the Smart Power Cord.
Status LED: Blue, usually used to indicate relay on/off status
Wi-Fi LED: Red or Yellow; indicates connection to Wi-Fi and AWS
When holding the cord with the Push button below the LEDs, the Wi-Fi LED is on the upper left
and the Status LED is on the upper right as shown below.
Push Button
The push button on the Smart Power Cord can be used to manually turn on and off any device
that is plugged into the Smart Power Cord. If desired, the button can be disabled through the
configuration screen. The button is also used to provision the Smart Power cord on the
ConnectSense Cloud application. If you hold down the push button for roughly 15 seconds it will
reset the Smart Power Cord to default configuration and put the Wi-Fi interface into SoftAP mode
so that it can be provisioned onto the customers network and the ConnectSense cloud application.
