Base Station green light with no Video Doorbell

@cjd_96709 Officially, there is no green light for the base. In the past, SS online has replied that room lighting conditions could make it appear like green. Suggest you call Support and troubleshoot.

Please post your outcome here if you get a chance.

And, now on to SS: Another example where video chat in the phone app would work wonders for both your support agent and your customer. Should be a priority to implement. Thanks!

Hi,

The Base Station does not have a green indicator. But there is a blue and a yellow.

The blue indicator means that the system is armed. This is the indicator that you can disable on the SimpliSafe app, under Menu > My System > General Settings > Base Station Light.

The yellow indicator means that a firmware update is in the process of downloading or installing. You can check the Keypad for the [!] icon to begin the firmware update process.

If you are seeing neither of these indicators, it might help if you took a picture of your Base Station, so we can see what you're seeing.

I have a green light on the base station of a system purchased earlier this year. Appeared today. Nothing on keypad or App.

@Christian​ well that's strange, never seen a green light

My base pulses green when my indoor camera detects motion. I have all sounds turned off, but what you’re hearing could be an audible alert or notification that your camera is detecting motion

@cheryl581​ Thank you for reporting this, I've forwarded your case to our engineering team to further their investigation! If you do an extended version of a Base Station reset by taking the following steps, does that clear the light out?

1. Remove the power plug from the Base Station, which will reveal the security screw.
2. Unscrew the security screw using a Philips head screwdriver.
3. Twist the entire bottom panel counter-clockwise, and pull away to open the battery compartment.
4. Take out one battery. This will fully power down the Base Station.
5. Wait 3 minutes with the Base Station fully powered down.
6. Reinsert the battery and reassemble the Base Station.

@bragg_lar​ Our engineering team is looking into what could cause the Base Station to show a green light without having a Video Doorbell on your system. I've forwarded your details to the team so they can continue to investigate! 

@frankie32578​ Thank you for reporting this! I have forwarded these details to our engineering team to look into.

@mdstrauch​ you mention that you're also hearing a "melody". Could that be the three-tone Trouble Signal? That indicates that there's a critical issue that your system wants you to be aware of. You can check for notifications on the Keypad, or in the inbox icon on the Overview page of the SimpliSafe app.
