Ring Doorbell Light Meaning: Every Color Explained

The light ring around the button on your Ring doorbell spins, flashes and fills up to tell you what it's doing. I've drawn a Ring Battery Doorbell here, and these are the patterns Ring lists for its battery doorbells.

Lights during setup

Light	What it means
Spinning white	It's in setup mode and ready to add in the Ring app. Setup mode turns off after 10 minutes.
Blue moving upward	It's connecting to your Wi-Fi.
Four blue corners flashing	Setup worked. Your doorbell is on your Wi-Fi and ready to go.
White flashing on the right	Setup failed because it couldn't reach your Wi-Fi. It's usually too far from the router, or your Wi-Fi name has special characters.
White flashing on top	Setup failed because of the Wi-Fi password. Check it and try again.
White flashing on the left	It joined your Wi-Fi but couldn't reach the internet or Ring's servers.

Everyday lights

Light	What it means
Spinning blue	Someone pressed the doorbell button.
Solid blue	There's a live call going and the doorbell's speaker is on.
Blue filling clockwise	It's charging. A quarter lit is under 25%, half is up to 50%, most of the ring is up to 75%, and the full ring flashing means it's fully charged.
Flashing white	It's installing a firmware update.
Blue flashing slowly	It's resetting to factory settings.
No light	That's normal. On battery power, the light stays off when the doorbell is idle.
Solid white	It's idle and hardwired to your home's doorbell wiring.

Wired Ring doorbells without a battery add one more: a red light flashing at the bottom means it isn't getting enough power.
