[RPi4] Switch-off Power LED

oliaros · March 12, 2023 at 11:49 AM

Hello out there,

until LE10.0.2 ist was possible to turn off the power LED of the RasPi 4 with the commands

dtparam=pwr_led_trigger=none

dtparam=pwr_led_activelow=off

in /flash/control.txt

This does not work since LE10.0.3 and unfortunately not for LE11.

Is there any workaround?

found a solution:

dtparam=pwr_led_trigger=default-on # The default
dtparam=pwr_led_activelow=off

in config.txt works fine for me.

I keep the power led during boot ( in case of issue )

And I have an autostart script that disable led once booted !

Code

kodi:~ # cat .config/autostart.sh
echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/led1/brightness
echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/led0/brightness

In recent LibreElec versions the path has changed:

It is now

And for disabling the power LED I use the command

Code

echo 0 >  /sys/class/leds/PWR/brightness
