# Disable Aeotec z-stick gen5 blinking lights
## Windows
Having recently bought an Aeotec z-stick gen5 for use with Home Assistant, but those flashing lights where very annoying and finding how to turn them off was harder than it should have been, so here is a guide (for windows).
All you need is a serial terminal, I used Realterm.
Attach the z-stick to your computer and find the COM port (can be found under "devices and printers").
After having found the COM port use your preferred program to connect to the COM port using 115200 baud, 8 bits, no parity and 1 stop bit.
Then send the following data to disable the blinking lights:

0x01 0x08 0x00 0xF2 0x51 0x01 0x00 0x05 0x01 0x51

Or the following data to enable the blinking lights:

0x01 0x08 0x00 0xF2 0x51 0x01 0x01 0x05 0x01 0x50

And that's it! No more annoying lights.

## Raspberry Pi
Awesome, thanks! For anybody who already has this device plugged into a Raspberry Pi, you can do it on the Pi itself.

```
sudo apt-get install cu
$ echo -e '\x01\x08\x00\xF2\x51\x01\x00\x05\x01\x51'|cu -l /dev/zwave -s 115200
```

Where /dev/zwave is the device path for your Z-Stick. In my case, it is literally /dev/zwave because

```
$ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/99-usb-serial.rules
SUBSYSTEM=="tty", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0658", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0200", SYMLINK+="zwave"
```

I suggest you to use this command to turn off led blink:

echo -e '\x01\x08\x00\xF2\x51\x01\x00\x05\x01\x51'|cu -l /dev/ttyACM0 -s 115200

Remember to replace /dev/ttyACM0 with your device path
