When you are travelling with your Pokemon GO Plus device, it will try to find nearby Pokemon and activate Poke Stops. The device will flash a certain color, with each color indicating something different. Listed below are the different lights and what they mean:

Green Light: The device will flash green and vibrate when a Pokemon you have already caught is nearby. To attempt to catch the Pokemon, simply press the central button.

Yellow Light: The device will flash yellow and vibrate when a new species of Pokemon is nearby.

Red Light: The device will flash red when trying to catch a Pokemon if you are out of regular PokeBalls. Alternatively, a red flashing light could indicate you failed to catch a Pokemon.

White Light: The device will flash white when it is attempting to catch a Pokemon.

Multicolored: The device will flash seven different colors when you have succeeded in catching a Pokemon. It will do the same when you successfully activate a PokeStop.

Blue Light: The device will flash blue when you are passing a PokeStop.

That is what every colored light means on your Pokemon GO Plus device. Enjoy catching them all on your adventures.
