Just spent hours trying to factory reset a Rachio 3, but instead of it going to “rebooting mode”, ie. displaying a pulsing white zone 1 light like in the reset instructions, it kept going to a pulsing blue light in zone 1…

Until I FINALLY I realized they were referring to this gunmetal-grayish blue color as WHITE.

I’ve noticed several router & gateway companies making the same mistake on their products indicator lights. They’ll say, “is the status light a steady white?” And I’ll say, “Yeah, if you mean light blue.” Silence. “Yeah”.

What gives? Are the LEDs getting syphilis over time?
