Base station light is too bright. I have the same question about being able to dim the light (not turn it off), but it seems there isn't an available answer. Hopefully this issue will be addressed in the future. Unfortunately that doesn't help us now.
I have a suggestion for the SimpliSafe tech people. Would it be possible to update the Base Station software so that we have the ability to dim the ring of light when it is on. I like the idea of there being a light to see the status of the system but it is so bright at night that we have taken to draping a cloth over it while watching TV.

@chuckdenise57 another suggested approach: shut off all prompts and voice prompts and place in upstairs room hidden or in area not readily noticeable. I have had an SS2 base in no light, no sound status with a lamp shade over it and now the SS3 base sitting on a shelf in a back 2nd story bedroom. No need to give an intruder an easy target.
You are correct. When an alarm is triggered, the light on the base station will turn off in an attempt to make the base station less conspicuous. Once the alarm is disarmed after an alarm, however, the light will begin to flash red to alert the user to the recent alarm event.
I also need this. The light is much too bright at night in my small house. I don't want to lose the functionality of the light by turning it off completely (although dandyDon has a point to consider...).
Please SimpliSafe - address this issue. The base station is too too too bright. There has to be a fix to this problem. I want the light on - but not so bright. Please help.
