:+1: for the new latest software and the simpler LED colors. Request: please reduce brightness 50%, at night it lights up the whole room. Thanks.

not sure if they could control that via firmware but you could put some tape over it?

Should be easily solved by changing the setting in the FW. It’s a gateway so not difficult. Electrical tape is an easy solution but…why? Aesthetically challenging :-1:

that’s only if the brightness was setup hardware wise to be controlled software wise

Yes, this is a known issue with the v1.0 Hub hardware. The green LED has the wrong resistor value on it. Although possible there’s no practical/easy way to dim it with firmware. Unfortunately, we won’t be able to adjust it until the next version of the Hub’s circuit and the next production run. Yes…

Now you have opened a can of worms. You are going to have to offer an upgrade path so we can purchase newer hardware when it is available. :smiling_imp:

Better then would be to revert to the “off” condition in the previous FW. No need for a permanent bright light telling you the unit is connected, I can look at the app to see that.

that was our thinking as well and was the original reason the light was off in earlier versions. However, in practice having “no light” when everything’s fine makes it confusing to users and difficult to troubleshoot (is the Hub even receiving power?). We recognize that the bright light is an issue…

Yes. The light should remain on. It’s the intensity that needs to be address in a future hardware build.

Light on for 60 mins after boot, then off. Simple solution for vast majority of troubleshooting cases? Had mine running for many months without light and wasn’t confused even once. :wink:
