What purple lights usually mean

Purple lights can appear during setup, updates, pairing, special modes, or error states depending on the device. Some brands use purple or violet as a transition color when the device is changing state or waiting for an app action.

Because purple is not standardized across device categories, it is important to compare it with the exact blinking pattern and product family. A purple light on a router, camera, smart bulb, or charger may not mean the same thing.
