Hi I’m using 2 D1 mini ESP8266 boards running WLED. Everything works as it should, except the bords won’t turn off when I shut my computer off at the end of the session. I have to go into the WLED app and manually turn them off. I have the slider in Signal RGB on both boards set to turn them off. Any idea of a fix please? ---

I believe I have the same issue. All WLED lights would turn off if I exit SignalRGB, but they turn back on if I shutdown the PC with SignalRGB running. What worked for me was to open the WLED app for Windows and set the color to black. I also saved the black I just selected as a preset, but I’m not sure that matters. After that, whenever I shutdown my computer (with SignalRGB running), all my WLED lights shut off as desired. I do sometimes have to repeat this step sometimes, after updates or fiddling. ---

WLED has a default preset that turns it on , if i recall correctly its like an orange ish color. The preset setting it to black does work to override that default (provided that option was checkmarked)
