Description

The blinking blue like for "normal operation status" feels like an "everything is ok ALARM!!!!"

I'd like to see an option to either make it solid blue for "normal" or disable the LED altogether.

Blinking shouldn't be the default. But I'll settle for being able to change it manually from GUI.

+1 by me as well.

Each time I see the blinking I think there must be some notification I need to go read on the console.

Have you attempted to just manually set the GPIO settings with a cron job to a different color? Would that help or make it worse?

Check out this forked GitHub the script has all the commands to run manually to try to hard set the LED to any color you want. Or use the main version for just a solid color

https://github.com/JonathanDLee24/Netgate-SG2100-scripts //script based on pfctl -vvss states
https://github.com/luckman212/Netgate-SG2100-scripts //script has solid LEDs no pfctl states used

Also a great reference to this
