Why is Ring Doorbell Flashing Blue?

Ring Doorbells flash blue when they’re starting, which is one of the most common causes. Approximately a minute should pass before this ends. There are at least six causes for your Ring Doorbell to spin, flash, or emit a blue light. It is normal for the top half to be blue during setup, but the bottom half to be blue indicates a bad password.

Why is Ring Doorbell Flashing Blue?
The Ring Doorbell flashing blue indicates that it is in setup mode and ready to be configured or connected to a Wi-Fi network. This is typically the initial state of the device when it is first installed or after it has been reset.

To complete the setup process, you will need to follow the instructions provided by the Ring app on your smartphone or tablet. Once you have successfully connected the doorbell to your Wi-Fi network, the blue light will stop flashing and the doorbell will be ready to use.

If the blue light continues to flash even after the setup process is complete, it could be an indication that the device is experiencing connectivity issues or needs to be reset. In such cases, you can try resetting the doorbell by pressing and holding the setup button for at least 20 seconds until the light turns off and then starts flashing again.

  2. Live view: When you initiate a live view of the Ring Doorbell from the Ring app on your smartphone or tablet, the blue light will turn on to indicate that the device is streaming video.
  3. Motion detection: When the Ring Doorbell detects motion, the blue light may briefly turn on to indicate that an event has been recorded. This setting can be customized in the Ring app.
  4. Low battery: If the Ring Doorbell’s battery is running low, the blue light may turn on as a warning to indicate that it needs to be charged.
  5. Error: In some cases, the blue light on the Ring Doorbell may indicate an error or connectivity issue. If this occurs, you may need to troubleshoot the device or contact Ring support for assistance.

The speaker has been enabled. A solid blue light on a Ring Doorbell typically indicates that the device is in “Do Not Disturb” mode. This means that the doorbell will not ring or send alerts to your mobile device when someone presses the button.

The “Do Not Disturb” mode can be set manually through the Ring app or automatically scheduled for specific times of the day or week. When you don’t want to be disturbed, like during meetings or at night, this feature is great.

To turn off “Do Not Disturb” mode and enable alerts and ring notifications again, you can go to the Ring app, tap on the device, and toggle off the “Do Not Disturb” option. If the solid blue light persists even after disabling this mode, you may need to troubleshoot the device or contact Ring support for assistance.
