It would be great if you could schedule the LED to turn off and on with a pre-defined schedule e.g. off overnight. ---

Cool idea, but can I ask shy to not have it on? Usually the LED is a way to know the unit is on? ---

I have the Nest Protect in my primary bedroom on the wall. Surprising the light is not much of a distraction. I have switch from Google WiFi to this AP6-Pro. While the Google Wi-Fi has a way to control how bright the light (on the unit), it is not that noticeable. ---

Grandtreams AP’s have a schedule for switch on/off status leds. This would be a great plus. ---

I second this! Would be great to have. ---

Are there any news regarding this feature request? The LED is definitely too bright during the night. Maybe its also possible to dim the LED? Is there a way to disable the LED via the CLI so that I can set up a cronjob until its officially supported? ---

All of the LEDs except for the orange POE LEDs on the switches can now be disabled or turned off in the UI. ![Screenshot 2024-09-01 at 17.18.53](https://forum.alta.inc/uploads/default/original/2X/0/0f4f47c5dd9b91fedd89230e6acbe01b5ced875d.png) ---

I’m aware of this, but I would love to use it scheduled. Here are the CLI commands to deactivate and activate the white and blue light on the AP6/Pro Lights off: Blue: `echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/leds/leds/blue/brightness` White: `echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/leds/leds/white/brightness` Lights on: Blue: `echo 255 > /sys/devices/platform/leds/leds/white/brightness` White: `echo 255 > /sys/devices/platform/leds/leds/blue/brightness` I wouldn’t activate both at the same time. ---

I agree with the schedule. I would really love this as well. One schedule, set on the controller, that will enable / disable all LEDs on said schedule. ---

Just to contribute here, this would be a fantastic addition for me. I work next to my networking gear during the day and I like having the activity lights going because when they stop, I know immediately if something is wrong with the network. But this room is also where I go to read at night and at that point I’d like to have the lights be off, without having to manually log in and turn them off. Tangentially, I don’t see a way to disable the link light on my hardware Control device, just for the LED at the top of the unit. Is that possible somewhere I just don’t see? ---

I am a new owner of an AP6 Pro and at night it would be nice to be able to turn off the LED because it is too bright. ---

I would also love this scheduling feature on all of the devices as they are mostly in my bedroom. Route10, S8POE, and AP6 Pro. ---

@Alta-Chase@Alta-Josh Would love to see this feature get worked on. Not only for the LED indicator but also for the link lights on the Route10 and switches. This would be a game changing feature for me. Thank you so much!!! ---

I have one just outside my bedroom and I need to have that one off so its not to bright… I know i’m silly but anyway, need to sleep as dark as possible! 😉 ---

It will likely be completed when we add schedule profile feature, so you can apply it to filters, passwords, POE ports, and LEDs, etc. It is still a ways out, though, so I appreciate your patience. ---

Hi all. Could LED scheduling be added to the GUI at some point? I would love to have my AP6 Pro and Route10 lights turn off at night and back on in the morning, on a schedule set in the controller. I know there are community scripts that do this on the device, and I appreciate that they exist, but a simple built in schedule would be much nicer. Per device or per site would be plenty. Thanks for considering it. ---

I am one of the folks scripting this right now, but yes it sure would be nice to have this added to the built in scheduler!
