Light Pattern
The Light Ring will move in patterns on smart robot models (i, e, s, m, and j series).
Light Ring While Idle
When robots are on their dock, they are charging or hibernating. You will see lighting patterns that match the current state of the robot.
Note: The light on the Home Base® will go on for approximately four (4) seconds and then turn off and remain off while the robot continues to charge.
When the robot is running a mission, and pauses or performs a mid-mission charge before resuming, the light ring pattern will continue for the duration of the activity.
