Slowly flashing means warning, quickly flashing means error, solid on means OK. See [status_led](https://esphome.io/components/status_led.html) docs. +* **Wifi** = Normally solid on, will briefly flash each time a meter rejoin is attempted which indicates poor signal from the meter. +* **Link** = Flashes off briefly about once every 5 seconds. More specifically, the LED turns off when a reading from the meter is requested and turns back on when a response is received. If no response is received then the LED will remain off. If this LED is never turning on then no readings are being returned by the meter.
