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:

  1. Turn off the circuit breaker feeding the Smart Splitter
  2. Wait 30 seconds
  3. Turn the breaker back on
  4. Wait 2 minutes for full system boot
  5. Check if LEDs are now working

Step 2: Verify Smart Splitter Functionality

Even without LEDs, confirm your unit is operating:

  1. Open the NeoCharge app
    • Check connection status
    • Verify power readings
    • Look for any error messages
  2. Test both outlets
    • Plug in devices to PRI and SEC
    • Confirm both can receive power
  3. Check power management
    • Verify load sharing is working via app
    • Ensure scheduled charging functions properly

What the LEDs Normally Show

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:

  1. You're under warranty - Free replacement available
  2. You prefer visual indicators - Personal preference
  3. Multiple issues exist - LED failure plus other problems
  4. Professional setting - Where appearance matters

Contacting Support for Replacement

Have this information ready:

  1. Serial number of your Smart Splitter
  2. Purchase date and order number
  3. Confirmation that:
    • Power cycle was attempted
    • Unit otherwise functions normally
    • You're within warranty period
  4. 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:

  1. Set app notifications for any status changes
  2. Create charging schedules in app for predictability
  3. Check app periodically during important charging sessions
  4. 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.
