Keys, dial, and indicators

Understand the controls before choosing shortcuts.

Last updated: 2026-09-21 · Draft / Founder Edition

Preliminary guide based on the existing manual. Firmware-specific details will be updated with the release.

Four programmable keys

The four physical keys provide distinct places for frequently used actions. Key names in examples are workflow labels, not fixed capabilities. A key can represent voice input or a configured shortcut depending on the installed software.

The rotary knob

The EC11 knob can rotate and be pressed. Rotation, press and long-press behavior must be matched to the installed firmware. The current manual reserves the side switch for master power and a two-second knob hold for soft power.

Six status indicators

The manual uses PWR, BLE, REC, AI, OK and WARN to describe intended states. Treat the following as the current documentation convention, to be checked against your firmware:

IndicatorMeaning in the manual
PWRPower / charging
BLEPairing / connection
RECVoice capture active
AIProcessing
OKComplete or ready
WARNAttention or error

Read status carefully

A colored light alone does not prove an agent's actual state. Runtime status synchronization depends on the companion software. Use the visible app status and microphone permissions as well.
