Disable router led

[danpowell88]

Is it possible to disable both the router leds completely on a cc2531?

Would be handy if it could somehow be controlled via the yaml configuration for the router.

[marcotini]

Modify your configuration.yaml with:

serial:
  disable_led: true
  port: /dev/ttyACM0

[danpowell88]

That is for coordinators only

AFAIK this is not possible with the router firmware.

Just in case somebody finds this issue: disable_led: true worked fine for me for CC2531 on firmare Z-Stack_Home_1.2 Default.

In case that anyone is here, looking for ways to disable the LED on a CC2531 (with Z-Stack router firmware for CC2531). It can simply be done by powering on the dongle and pressing the S1 button – this is the button not saying debug next to it.

Didn't work for me. Heat shrink did work though!

disable_led: true works but it needs to be added to the zigbee2mqtt addon configuration not the general configuration.yaml

What is 'zigbee2mqtt addon configuration', where do I find that ?

[kamphuisem]

For the router, pressing S1 button turns green LED on/off, but red LED keeps flashing. Have not found a way to disable flashing light.

CC2531 routers still have this problem, any news?

This worked for me, thanks.

You can disable led in zigbee2mqtt add-on configuration. You need install this add-on and configure before this manipulation.
This configuration file you can find Supervisor->Dashboard->Zigbee2mqtt->Configuration in section
serial:
disable_led: true #Just add this line
port: /dev/ttyACM0
Save config and restart add-on

[Sloth-on-meth]

This is for ROUTERS not COORDINATORS

[cagarrinho]

disable_led: true
Works for me

[Sloth-on-meth]

Again this is for ROUTERS NOT COORDINATORS

Facing this same question. PTVO.info has the option to make a configurable firmware:

https://ptvo.info/zigbee-switch-configurable-firmware-v2-210/

Option: 'Status LED'.

Didn't try this yet but planning so on doing this week.

Has there been any progress on this? I find the blinking red LED on my router sticks rather annoying, especially at night. I can use a physical hack to cover it / block it, but would prefer something cleaner.

Yes. I've tried the configurable firmware and yes you can disable the led.
You can also change it from the red to the green led, invert it or change the blinking interval in seconds.

Can you share an example?

[duceduc]

@AbeltjeNL
Yes, please share an example for the CC2531 router firmware with the led disabled.

[AbeltjeNL]

@michaelmcdonald and @duceduc,

Sorry. Didn't get a notification for the previous post. What do you want to see? A photo of the CC2531 with the led off or how to use the configurable firmware file?

[duceduc]

@AbeltjeNL
Hi. Thanks for the reply. I have a CC2531 and have flash with the latest router firmware. I wish to disable the red LED.

Yes, how to use the configurable firmware file for the CC2531.

Allright.

1.) Download this file: https://ptvo.info/download/cc2530_io_1.2.2a.44539_firmware.zip?q=1621498554
2.) Extract the file and execute: FirmwareConfig.exe
3.) Navigate to the 'Expert' tab
4.) Click 'Read settings from a file'
5.) Navigate to the extraction folder -> presets
6.) Select: 'cc2531_router.ini'
7.) Now the default CC2531 router settings are imported into the application
8.) For those who want to disable the LED. Uncheck the Status LED box in the 'settings' tab
9.) Navigate to the 'Expert' tab, check the 'Model ID' box and copy/paste "lumi.router"
10.) Also in the 'Expert' tab, check the 'Update firmware's timestamp' box (i forgot this)
11.) Save the custom firmware
12.) Flash the firmware
13.) Make sure that 'permit join' is on when you start flasing
14.) Once the joining proces is done you will have your CC2531 router with the LED disabled
15.) For those who use the diag firmware.. I dont know how to make a diag firmware with the LED disabled.

Feel free to play around with the settings in the application. I'm not a pro, i didn't develop this software/firmware. All credits and feature questions -> https://ptvo.info/ 🥇

Hi. Thank you very much for the steps. I have saved the custom firmware with the LED box unchecked.
For steps 12 & 13, do we really need to have zigbee2mqtt permit join set to true during the flashing?

Well, no. But the LED is turned off so you can't tell when the router is booting, searching for a network or joined a network. To be sure that the router joins your network after flashing, enable permit join. If you don't want to, enable it as soon as the flashing is done.

Hello. Well, I successfully paired the router to coordinator during the time of flashing. I had to reset my coordinator and repair all devices including the cc2531 router. Now, I cannot get it to pair. There are 2 buttons on the board. S1 and S2. Does pressing the S2 to start repairing works? I have tried, but it doesn't work.

Update: Got it paired finally!
There's mentioned on the web for the CC2531 as a router, you need to press the S2 button for5 seconds to get it in pairing mode.
The CC2530 as a router, you need to power cycle the usb 3 times before it goes into pairing mode.

It seems Using the custom router firmware on a CC2531 stick, you perform the latter (power cycle 3 times) to get it in repair mode.

I also noticed from the image above and here below, the description says CC2530 Router which isn't really correct. But, it works is what matters.

[AbeltjeNL]

@duceduc, Nice to read that you got your router paired again.

For the description and image part, i already told @ptvoinfo and @Koenkk.

[AbeltjeNL]

FYI:

I stopped using these routers. 5 to be exact. My network is much more responsive and quicker. The CC2531 is a bit out of date and the fact that there is still no Zigbee 3.0 firmware out there made me decide to terminate these suckers.
My network now only communicates with and through 3.0 devices and that is a big jump in performance.

Not implementing that the Zigbee 1.2 firmware is bad or crap, it just wasn't working very well in my setup 👍🏻
