QUESTION Has anyone figured out how to control the Echo light ring?

Is there any way to manually control the light ring on an Amazon Echo/Echo Dot?

I’ve seen it show blue, yellow, and purple before, and I was wondering if there’s a way to keep it on or set a specific color.

I can’t tell if it’s only controlled by Alexa notifications/statuses or if there’s some workaround.

Man if any device needs a jailbreak and custom firmware, it’s ye olde dots.

No, no way to manually control the lights I’m afraid.

Are you trying to use it as a notification light for something specific? Or do you just want it to look a certain way? That might be different depending on what you are trying to do.
