Home Assistant Yellow has 4 LEDs:
- Red LED (D4): Power LED
- Green LED (D5): Activity LED
- Yellow LED (D6): Home Assistant Yellow system health LED
- Blue LED (D2): Radio LED. Indicates network traffic on the radio. The radio can be used for Zigbee or Thread. The behavior of the LED is the same for either.
- The red and green LED's behavior is similar to the red and green LED on a Raspberry Pi.
- The yellow LED is specific to Home Assistant Yellow. It indicates Home Assistant specific information.
Power LED (red)
The power LED indicates whether the CM4 is powered. If the LED is off, check the power supply. If the LED continues to be off, remove power, and check if the CM4 is properly seated on the Yellow PCB.
Activity LED (green)
The activity LED indicates various firmware and boot loader states at startup. If CM4 fails to boot, the pattern indicates what the reason is. Refer to the LED Warning Flash Codes table of the Raspberry Pi documentation. Once Home Assistant OS has been started, the green LED indicates activity. Activity is defined as disk (eMMC/NVMe) or any CPU load.
System health LED (yellow)

Home Assistant OS Installer for Yellow on CM4: LED patterns during installation
These LED patterns apply only while you are running the Home Assistant OS Installer on a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 (CM4). These LED patterns don't apply during operation.
As the Home Assistant OS Installer is not used for the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5, this section does not apply for CM5 installation.
