Disable Red Mute LED

Is there a way to disable the red LED when you mute the voice assistant, in my case Alexa? Reason being, the mic is too sensitive and I have Alexa devices competing for my attention two rooms away. I want to continue using it as a speaker, but I find the red light a bit annoying. I have other smart devices that will turn off the mute signal after a cpl minutes. Would be a great enhancement if not already available. Appreciate any feedback the community has.

You can change the echo's "wake word" to individualize the devices. 

That's what I've done with my devices that are close enough to interact with each other.

Thank you. I do that for other devices as well, but unfortunately Orbi does not currently allow you to change the wake word. Please let me know if anybody understands otherwise.

Thank you again !

Right but if you leave the orbi as alexa and change all the others to echo, sweet cheeks, etc.....then you should be good.

Got ya. It’s a viable work around to what I would think would be a standard feature. I’ll give it some thought. Appreciate it !
