Yes, that's the right approach. And that's why moode audio is so great.

Thank you Tim.

New feature added to System config for controlling on/off state of LED0 (Activity) and LED1 (Power). Note that AFAIK it's not possible to turn off the power LED on the SiG.

Hello Tim, moOde contributors and users,

I've installed moOde audio on my rpis 5 days ago, sound and configurability are by far better than any other audiophile distribution I've tested (Volumio, Rune Audio, ...).
Coincidentally I've written a shell script which controls the behavior of the rpi LEDs depending on the availability of the configured sources and/or plugged in USB storage(s). The scipt is called by a one shot systemd unit file started every minute by a cron job.

Red LED is off by default.
Fixed green LED means all sources configured and/or all USB storage(s) plugged in are available.
Blinking green LED is for at least one source and/or USB storage available if multiple sources have been configured or if multiple USB storage(s) are plugged in.
Fixed red LED means no source and/or no USB storage plugged in are unavailable.

The only small drawback is when NFS shares are hard mounted. You have to use soft NFS mounts for it to work otherwise the script gets stuck waiting for the NFS server to respond (normal behavior).

I've tested it on pi 3B+ and 4B.

I can post the script and systemd unit file here if they can be of any use for someone else.

Regards from France

Why not post your work to a new entry in FAQs and Guides so users can decide from themselves?

Sure Kent will gladly do

You could go the whole way and use a systemd timer to run it.
Cheers,
