I'd like to do it but would like some live/more-realtime support in figuring it out.
The one thing I'd like to have happen is the "ACT" Led be disabled after fully booting. Maybe add it as an option to the WebUI but at least a way to turn it off/on maybe with a file.conf in /boot

Thanks in advance if anyone can help with this.

Raspberry Pi Zero

The Pi Zero's values are opposite, and it only has one LED, led0 (labeled 'ACT' on the board). The LED defaults to on (brightness 0), and turns off (brightness 1) to indicate disk activity.

If you want to turn off the LED on the Pi Zero completely, run the following two commands:

<br />
# Set the Pi Zero ACT LED trigger to 'none'.<br />
echo none | sudo tee /sys/class/leds/led0/trigger

# Turn off the Pi Zero ACT LED.
echo 1 | sudo tee /sys/class/leds/led0/brightness

To make these settings permanent, add the following lines to your Pi's /boot/config.txt file and reboot:

<br />
# Disable the ACT LED on the Pi Zero.<br />
dtparam=act_led_trigger=none<br />
dtparam=act_led_activelow=on<br />

Sorry, but I don't get more 'realtime' than replying to messages here, or on the 2 github supports, or Facebook.
If I'm up, and check messages, I either research and reply, or if it's a common question, reply straight up.
No one can afford my personal rates for Tech Support, especially at the Holidays... :)

Keven you ROCK! I had found that info (kinda) but it was tltr on the sites I saw and wasn't exactly formatted like that or specific to this device. I'll give the commands a go to confirm :) thanks.

Decided to skip to the punchline and just put the /boot/config.txt lines in and - haza! Success so easy! Though, that wasn't exactly an answer to the subject. I'll see if I can put together a simple/less convoluted instruction set for an answer to the subject of this conversation.

But, still thanks for the easy answer to the reason for the inquiry in the first place. I thought I would have needed to make A LOT more configuration/installation/compiling changes.

What do you expect? For free, and before my morning coffee? :)
