How do I stop an LED strip showing a faint glow when the switch is off?

Our answer

Leakage through an electronic switch can lightly power LEDs; have an electrician install a compatible bypass or switch.

Why this approach makes sense

Device software, permissions and connected services change how a feature behaves; use settings for the actual model rather than a generic workaround.

Before you try it

Verify the relevant device and account permissions, and make changes one at a time.
