I too have this problem with the power status light flashing for a few days. The speaker appeared to be fully functional, both alarms and command worked. I unplugged the unit, and the light is now solid.

Hi CalMan,

Thank you for taking the time to share your inquiries with us.

Here is a summary of the LED status on your speaker:

Off = device powered off
Blink = booting, no network
Solid = normal operation, network connected
Slow blink = normal operation, network internet error – connecting google server.

We will update code to only show Blink state and allow the front display to show NET if internet connection lost. I hope this provides clarification on your inquiries.

According to this post on BB's forums (see link) by Mariah-BBY, this is caused by an unreliable connection to power or a power surge.

Other posts here from support seem to say the blinking is a network issue. 

That said, I have this problem as well. My solution is to cycle power by pulling the plug. Works. The speaker was working as expected at the time I noticed the blinking, so that seems to rule out the network issue as a cause in my case.

I have this same situation with the blinking LED. The LED blinks white during normal operation. After a reboot, the LED will be solid white for a few days, then it will return to blinking white. This doesn't match the expected LED status behavior.

The answer that slow blink means normal operation but NO NETWORK seems to be wrong as mine two have the blinking light and are operating normally with internet/Google connection working just fine.

I am having the same issue on one of my units. It started after I was playing with the app and I think I linked it to another unit. So I am trying to get it unlinked to see if it fixes my rapid blinking red light.
