Option to disable Ring-Light at night? #89

Awesome Project and Idea - working very well for me at home. Thanks for all the effort at this project and the good tutorial ;-) I was wondering, if there could be an option to disable the blue indication light during night times (or permanently). In my use-case, I don't want the Fingerprint-Reader to be a "blue-breathing-eye-catcher" at night, as I am using it at and for my garage-door only and I prefer as it would be more hidden... Any idea if this is possible to be implemented? Maybe same as the TouchRing on/off by MQTT-Message?

Have a look at my fork, I have realized something similar. I can deactivate the bell via MQTT and deactivate the light from the LED ring in the process.

I can confirm it’s working amazing.

You guys are awesome! Your update, mickler2021, is working very nice and is exactly what I was looking for. I directly changed the colors to my preference as well (luckily I got the new version of the sensor). This Fingerprint-Doorbell is making my day (and night) now :-D

I am still on maskeddeveloper fork but noticed that the ring comes back on as long as the touchring detection is turned off. Is it the same in your build?

The ignoretouchring function works as expected. I have not noticed that the touch ring is reactivated after a while.

Oh sorry i meant that the led color comes back on. so i have disabled it by default through the additional settings introduced by maskeddeveloper. However if touchring is disabled the led comes back on (standard blue color, always on)

mickler2021 commented 4 months ago

The blue color is hard-coded in the function for the ignoretouchring by maskeddeveloper. When irgnoretouchring is active, the LED ring turns blue.

Alright, seems i missed that. I will look through the code again. Thanks for the pointer.
