Cerbo GX Wifi & Bluetooth Lights never stop blinking-

Issue- Both the Wi-Fi & Bluetooth Lights blink all the time, Wi-Fi connection is active & good, VRM works fine, however this issue got my attention when I was trying to connect the app local via Bluetooth, the app just says :fetching Data" but never connects...device is paired and connected....I see "Multiplus" on the device under Bluetooth devices connected....firmware is up to date, looking for ideas.....diagram of our system attached...screenshot-2020-11-06-220525.jpg

I don't think this is an 'error' or a 'bug'. From the CERBO GX manual:

Section 8.4 LEDS & Push-button:

During Operation

  • Wifi Access Point LED blinks red: built-in WiFi Access Point disabled <<=
  • Wifi Access Point blinks green: built-in WiFi access point enabled (default)
  • Bluetooth LED off: Bluetooth disabled
  • Bluetooth LED blinks blue: Bluetooth enabled <<=
  • Bluetooth LED solid blue: Bluetooth connection to VictronConnect app established

I think Alexandra's solution of 'Cover Them With Tape' is the only option.

I have the same problem. Blinking orange (wifi) and blue (bluetooth) lights, but working perfrectly. Don't think I ever saw the wifi light green. Does anyone have an idea what is going on?
