The LEDs aren't controllable since that device was added to OpenWrt: https://forum.openwrt.org/t/no-led-config-for-edgerouter-x/184437

ups, never replied here.
Thanks a lot for the forum link. it explains a lot. 👍
In this case there's nothing to improve. (OpenWrt can't control any of the led's via software according to the forum)

Someone would need to figure out how the stock firmware controls the LEDs to fix this.

[Djfe]

that would work for the switch led's. (they are controlled by the switch chip)
according to the forum the power led is wired to the power supply. so it is not possible for stock firmware to control it either, is it?

Yes, I think that is correct.

For the switch, reconfiguring the LEDs as GPIOs is possible in the Device Tree, but I don't think doing so makes much sense.
