LED Indicator Not OnUpdated 17 days ago
Understanding LED Indicators
The LED indicators on your Smart Splitter provide at-a-glance status information. If they're not working, here's what to do:
Is This a Serious Problem?
No - A non-functioning LED is primarily a cosmetic issue. Your Smart Splitter can operate normally without the LED indicators.
You can still monitor your Smart Splitter through:
- NeoCharge app - Shows real-time status, power usage, and any alerts
- Power delivery - If devices are charging, the unit is working
- App notifications - Alerts for any actual issues
Step 1: Try a Power Cycle
Often resolves temporary LED issues:
- Turn off the circuit breaker feeding the Smart Splitter
- Wait 30 seconds
- Turn the breaker back on
- Wait 2 minutes for full system boot
- Check if LEDs are now working
Step 2: Verify Smart Splitter Functionality
Even without LEDs, confirm your unit is operating:
- Open the NeoCharge app
- Check connection status
- Verify power readings
- Look for any error messages
- Test both outlets
- Plug in devices to PRI and SEC
- Confirm both can receive power
- Check power management
- Verify load sharing is working via app
- Ensure scheduled charging functions properly

Living Without LEDs
Since the LED is cosmetic, you can continue using your Smart Splitter normally:
Use the App Instead:
- Real-time status - More detailed than LEDs anyway
- Power consumption - Exact amperage readings
- Historical data - Track usage over time
- Push notifications - Alerts for any issues
Benefits of app monitoring:
- More detailed information than simple LED colors
- Remote monitoring capability
- Historical trends and patterns
- Precise power measurements
When to Request a Replacement
While not critical, you may want a replacement if:
- You're under warranty - Free replacement available
- You prefer visual indicators - Personal preference
- Multiple issues exist - LED failure plus other problems
- Professional setting - Where appearance matters
Contacting Support for Replacement
Have this information ready:
- Serial number of your Smart Splitter
- Purchase date and order number
- Confirmation that:
- Power cycle was attempted
- Unit otherwise functions normally
- You're within warranty period
- Your preference:
- Immediate replacement needed
- Can wait for convenient timing
- Just reporting for warranty record
What to expect:
- Support will verify warranty status
- May offer troubleshooting if not already tried
- Will arrange replacement if under warranty
- You may need to return the old unit
Temporary Workarounds
While waiting for replacement or if keeping current unit:
- Set app notifications for any status changes
- Create charging schedules in app for predictability
- Check app periodically during important charging sessions
- Place phone/tablet nearby showing app status if visual feedback needed
Note on Warranty
- LED failure is covered under standard warranty
- Cosmetic issues don't affect warranty timer
- Document the issue date for your records
- Replacement process is typically quick
Remember: Your Smart Splitter is fully functional without the LED. The NeoCharge app provides all the same information and more, making the LED a nice-to-have rather than a necessity.
