The indicator light is a good beacon to show people that I have a powered charger outside my house. It would be good to have an option to set this to off when in either the idle or disabled state. That way it would be less obvious that it is sitting waiting. Maybe touching the button when no vehicle is attached will make the light come on for 20 seconds to make it easy to check, but not a flashing light outside my house.

Hi Wilko,

Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately, this is not possible or easily implemented, but I will send your feature request and feedback to the hardware team for consideration in future firmware updates.

Can’t you just turn off the power to it?

I can turn it off when I am away, but it’s more about just day to day, if we happen to be out, I don’t want a flashing light outside my house. It’s just about making it more discreet.

Is the isolator far from the unit?

I would think that’s the best option for now until they find a way to disable the light or remotely turn the unit off.

I put a tab of black tape over the network light. Less for security and more because it’s bright and directly visible from the neighbours kitchen.

+1 for switchable or dimmable or time-synced LEDs on the X-series. I’ve seen the blue led slowly pulsing so clearly there’s some ability to control/pwm the output.
