What do the LED colours of my charging station mean?

Introduction

Each Smappee charging station has a status LED on the front of the station as well as a status LED near the RFID reader (not applicable for every model). Each state has its own colour and meaning, please see the table below.

  • When a station is set to Plug and Charge it will remain white when losing internet connection
  • When a Station is set to any session activation method that requires authentication (such as Swipe and Charge) then its LED will become red when losing internet connection
