GoodWe COM LED blinking: battery or meter? How do I read it?

The short answer
ON = both OK, BLINK 1 = BMS comms failed, BLINK 2 = meter comms failed, OFF = both failed.

Plain explanation

From the GoodWe manual for the ET / ET Plus+ / BT: Read the COM LED: ON = BMS and meter OK. BLINK 1 = BMS comm failed – installer checks battery comm cable. The rest of the checklist is below; work through it in order. Installer only: DC and AC work on a live PV system is dangerous, so owners should note the code and call their installer.

Steps from the source

  1. Read the COM LED: ON = BMS and meter OK
  2. BLINK 1 = BMS comm failed – installer checks battery comm cable
  3. BLINK 2 = meter comm failed – installer checks meter cable
  4. OFF = both failed
