Would it be possible to include the sun is shining LED as standard on the solar gauge

Probably a good idea to make it an enabled option, but I'll have to check which packages can supply the data, which cannot supply the data but do provide a theoretical reading so it could be calculated, and those where it cannot be used at all.

I have implemented this on my gauges. Although I was originally hoping for it not to be flashing, but in hindsight actually works well flashing. I have also set up one for when it rains. Yet to test as we haven't had decent rain since June.

Add a couple of lines of code to the gauges.js file.

around line 889 add
params.ledVisible = true;
params.ledColor= steelseries.LedColor.YELLOW_LED;

around line 1922 add
_gaugeSolar.setThreshold(data.IsSunny === "1" ? -10000 : 10000);

Also add the code of "IsSunny":"<#IsSunny>" into realtimegaugesT.txt for this to work

I have added this to version 2.5.0, once I get a moment over the Christmas break I push it out to a few testers before general release.
