Hi, installed a new Zen to replace a dead sensor.  
The LED’s showing AQI are cool, but the constant flashing and rotating motion is super distracting.  
Per the config page I did not see any option for just a steady on no flashing no motion AQI color.  
Is it possible to configure color but no motion?

Hi Pieter, the intent behind the rotating LEDs is to indicate to viewers that the sensor is “alive” and actively monitoring the air quality. There’s no way to disable this right now, but I’m happy to add this to our feedback form, with configurability as the proposed solution.
