Just to clarify: this is a hardware mod, whereas I believe the OP was
thinking about some sort of external device to detect the LED from
outside the SBR case. I did not try that approach, but from what I
discovered while building the phototransistor circuit, my gut feeling
is that it may be quite difficult to reliably detect the LED from
outside the case when the SBR is on but stopped - the LED then is
rather dim. And if anyone does succeed in that, such an external device
could only ever work if the SBR is housed inside a completely dark box
or cupboard - any stray ambient light would almost certainly cause
unwanted triggering.
