Node
 What do the Node status LEDs indicate?
 My Node can’t connect to the Gateway or mesh parent.
Give the Node more time, at least 15 minutes, to negotiate a connection to the
mesh network. If it still cannot connect, the Node is not within transmission
distance to a parent. To solve this you can relocate the Node closer to the Gateway
or another Node, or you can install another intermediate Node between it and the
mesh parent to help it connect to the mesh network.
 How can I tell if my Node batteries are getting too low?
The mesh LED will be solid or blinking amber to show that the Node’s batteries
are low. See the table above. You can also see the battery power in the app: choose
this Node’s Gateway, then this Node, then Node Power.
