Feature request: disable LED lights on all SOHO devices

Fri Apr 27, 2018 6:47 pm

Feature request: the ability to disable all LED lights on all SOHO devices, especially popular ones like the Mikrotik hEX.

By definition, SOHO devices are often in workplace environments in direct line of sight visible by all throughout the day or in home living rooms and bedrooms under all types of lighting conditions. This is where many types of users exists, including kids and sensitive individuals. So, it should be possible to disable lighting on such devices.

In addition, this helps reduce power usage a little more and there is even recent science studies about their biological effects ...

This is a better alternative than applying tape due to vents, temperature + glue, and aesthetics.

Recent RouterOS already has a setting to do that under system->leds->settings.
When a particular device does not honor it, my guess would be it is not possible in the hardware.
(e.g. a power led hardwired over the power input will not turn off anytime)
