Feature Request: Ability to Dim/turn off the eero status light
I would like the ability to turn off or dim the status light on the front of the eero. I have an eero in the master bedroom and tried LightDims but that isn't an optimal solution as white LightDims only cut about 30%

EXCITING NEWS EVERYONE!
We just announced that in a soon-to-come release, you will be able to control the LED on your eero via the app or through an Alexa skillset!
In the coming days, eero customers who own an Echo will be able to:
- Find your devices, throughout your home, based on which eero the device is closest to.
- Pause the internet for dinner or other family moments.
- Turn off the LED lights for bedtime (which you’ll now be able to do from the app, as well).
Thanks for your patience and for voicing your desire for such a feature! We look forward to continuing to deliver on other feature requests in future updates. Keep them coming :)

jalvani thrilled to hear you love what you are hearing!
In an upcoming release, from the app you will be able to see which eero a device is connected to. This will allow you to at least know where the device could be located. As for pausing the Internet, this feature is already available in the app through Family Profiles. However, voice commands for pausing for events like dinner time or family moments can only be done through Amazon Alexa.

Yep! The Alexa command will be "[ask/tell] eero...". Simply say eero will not trigger Alexa to use one of the eero skills.
Just to avoid confusion here, the Alexa skillset is currently in beta. We hope to have more news shortly on a definitive release day. As soon as it is live, we will get a topic started in the community to gather more feedback on any issues or desired skills for future use!
Best,
Jeff
