But flashing saves energie compared to continous mode.
I tried to modifie my rules.yaml a bit and now i got the red light in
the aux button flashing while discharging. It's really easy to
implement. I just added these lines to my rules.yaml:

-
    trigger: PowerStatus()
    filters: HasAttr(status, "discharging")
    actions: SetLed("gta02_aux_red", "blink")

I think the first two power led statements aren't needed but so it looks
consistent. The only problem so far is that i have to turn the blinking
off when in charging or full state. But the argument "dark" which is
shown in wiki page isn't correct anymore. When i use it i got an error
message that "dark" is an unhandled action. So i have to search a bit
more how to turn the led off again.  :)

Ciao,
