Show HN: Light control for MacBook charger status light (open-source)

https://github.com/Getterbetter/ember/releases/tag/v1.0.1

For anyone who wants to control their MacBook charger light. For me, my MacBook lives in my bedroom most nights on charge and the light is quite bright. Config allows on/off automation with time, focus status, or persistently on/off. Open to features / suggestions via Github

True. But I like the status light during the day
