What does the LED on the mylink device mean?

If you’re wondering what the LED light on your myLink™ device is telling you, this article is a helpful guide.

The Somfy myLink is an easy way to make your motorized Radio Technology Somfy® (RTS) products even smarter. With the myLink you can create scenes of multiple products and schedule them to operate automatically throughout the day.
