You may have noticed that when you turn on your MATRIX Voice for the first time the LEDs turn yellow and then fade in brightness until one LED (D1) is completely turned off. Below is a picture of this:
This default LED state is a remnant of our quality control testing. Once you set up your MATRIX Voice for the first time it will be flashed with the latest software that changes the default LED state to off.
To flash your MATRIX Voice with the latest software run the following commands on the Raspberry Pi that is connected to your MATRIX Voice.
Please note that the default LED state is what the LED’s of the MATRIX Voice do when you turn it on. It does not affect your ability to program and change the colors/brightness of the LEDs.

Thank you @spacemishka, you are right. It should be 2 lines instead of just one: url https://apt.matrix.one/doc/apt-key.gpg | sudo apt-key add - echo "deb https://apt.matrix.one/raspbian $(lsb_release -sc) main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/matrixlabs.list
I ran the code just as displayed (curl https://apt.matrix.one/doc/apt-key.gpg | sudo apt-key add -;(2nd line) echo “deb https://apt.matrix.one/raspbian $(lsb_release -sc) main” | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/matrixlabs.list )with a fresh image of Raspbian Jessie, then did sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade and reboot. The LEDs are still all on just as displayed in the photo above. Any other suggestions or recommendations?
Thanks
Yes I have done that, and now after changing to a different Pi 3, the lights have turned off. However I still have numerous problems with trying to load and run the Alexa AVS. Are you someone I can question about this or is there someone or someplace I should go to? I have received an email from Alfred Gonzalez-Cuzan and I have not heard back from him.
Thanks
i got it working more or less. Mics performance need to be imporved. If i find some time, i write what i have done. Acutally all tutorials lacking some facts.
You can share the issues setting up the Alexa demo here in the community. Better to open a new post on this topic. I can help you out through the process.
I found the error in the file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/matrixlabs.list, and changed it just like you mentioned here.I also changed the file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/raspi.list to read:
deb http://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian/ stretch main ui
Uncomment line below then ‘apt-get update’ to enable ‘apt-get source’
deb-src http://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian/ stretch main ui
I uncommented the line that starts with deb-src http://.
I then ran sudo update and sudo upgrade, they both ran to completion. I
I have run the AVS setup and all the commands under the title: configure automated_install.sh and run it. run this commands after.
I can log in to Alexa but I can not get any response from her. I also noticed a set of instructions located at:https://matrix-io.github.io/matrix-documentation/matrix-hal/examples/alexa/.This mentions the asoundrc file and I changed that file per those instructions; still no response. Is there any other changes that need to be made for the mics and speaker to work, or have I missed something?
Thanks again
the problem is u have to get very close to the mics. you can also hit the microphone button you see on your screen instead of saying ‘Alexa’… but mics still not very sensitiv
and you need to delete the asoundrc file. Actually the automated_setup.sh should to it. But if you run it with sudo it tries to delete it from /home/root but it should deleted from /home/pi
