Hello Hub V1

The little black box that started it all.
Quad Core ARM.

Status Lights

The face of the Hello Hub (V1) houses 3 status lights.

From left to right when facing the ring-u logo:
1st Light turns red to indicate power is on.
2nd Light blinks yellow to indicate network communication.
3rd Light is the main status light.

  • It blinks blue when making attempts to contact the ring-u servers,
  • Is solid green when it has a successful connection with ring-u,
  • And occasionally blinks purple to indicate that the battery monitoring service is working.


The 3rd Light can also indicate system errors.

  • Alternating Red and Yellow indicates that the Hello Hub has encountered an internal software error and needs to be powered off and on again.
  • Occasional red flash indicates that the Hello Hub failed to retrieve an update from the ring-u servers. It will try again automatically.
  • Cycling Colors (blue, green, red) indicates hub stuck in a boot loop. Hub cannot be contacted or helped (it's a goner).
  • Solid Red indicates the Hello Hub can not get past the firewall. A firewall reboot usually clears this error.
