I can’t seem to find this via a search, but is there a way to turn the flashing LED off when the Zymkey is idle?

You can turn the LED on or off, or make it flash in a pattern via the API. The documentation can be found here:

[https://community.zymbit.com/t/api-documentation/189](https://community.zymbit.com/t/api-documentation/189)

Here is a snippet of code to show how to change the LED in python:

import zymkey  
import time

print(“Turning LED ON for 5 seconds…”)  
zymkey.client.led\_on()  
time.sleep(5)

print(“Turning LED OFF for 5 seconds…”)  
zymkey.client.led\_off()  
time.sleep(5)

print(“Setting to flash once for 100 msecs every 3 secs…”)  
zymkey.client.led\_flash(100,3000,0)
