ESPHome Esp32 Wroom Power LED off?

[vaderag]

Trying to disable the onboard power LED on my ESP32

I’ve read a bunch of threads and added

switch:
  - platform: gpio
    id: onboard_led
    pin:
      number: GPIO2
      mode: OUTPUT
    restore_mode: ALWAYS_OFF

The LED on my board is Red, so per the below I assumed it was GPIO2
However, the code above which seems to work for others is not working so can only assume it’s the powerled which I cannot find any details on

Before I whack out the black electrical tape, does anyone know if it’s possible to turn this off?

Power-LED is indicating your board is powered on…
You can desolder it, pry it with pliers or cover it. Covering is safer though…

as said, you can’t turn it off, since it’s tied to input 5V voltage:

Okay thank you
Black tape it is then!

I just put a drop of this on the LED… works great
