Can not turn off led lightning on f1-8x 722 with Apollo87H-T-SC
Hello, can anybody help me to turn off led lightning on Apollo87H-T-SC? I tried with QMK/VIA but can not see anything to configure. Thank you!

have u tried WEB via, its better than via APP
Yes, but it didn't show any option to configure led light.
The latest firmware added it.

Thank you, but how can i add this latest firmware?
You need to flash it in QMK. I think you hold esc when you plug in the board to USB with QMK open and it should recognize it as being ready to flash.

I think it's at around 10:10
After you flash the firmware in QMK you should enable design mode in VIA and load in the Json file unless it's been merged already.
Alternatively, you can use the modifier key shortcut to turn the led's off. I think it was mod+z or something like that. You can look on layer 2 and see what it is in Via without needing to flash.
Follow these steps to flash but nothing happened when click and hold ESC key

Hey @hai, I also recommend just using the second layer for the lighting commands (see the VIA default layer picture below) to turn RGB off, as that's the simplest and quickest way without having to worry about QMK.
What I did was assign fn1(3) to where right ctrl usually goes on layer 0, and pressed that key + Z, which is RGB toggle, like H0tr0d said and it worked!
So my layer 0 looks like this
I press and hold this button (where right control usually is) + z (which is RGB toggle on the next layer up), and it toggles RGB on and off.
Random noob q: what's the difference between Fn1(3) and M0(1)? I noticed that pressing both alongside z toggles rgb.
I think (and please correct me if I am wrong), the MO means "momentarily" as in momentarily enabling that layer
tbh, I usually try both when needing to use a second layer, and whichever works the first time is the one I use lol
Ohhh ๐คฏ
so I don't necessarily know the true function/differences
Same! M0 worked for me the first time so I've been using that ever since but I kinda disliked having to have that key pressed down all the time. Awesome tidbit, I'm switching to Fn1 from now on lol
