I have written a basic service for Ubuntu-based systems that changes the Intel NUC7i[x]BN and NUC6CAY LED settings to indicate when Kodi is recording something. 

It is available here:
    https://github.com/xptsp/service.recording-led-for-nuc

It is required to have the Intel NUC LED kernel installed.  You may compile it from the original repository:
   https://github.com/milesp20/intel_nuc_led
or from my repository, which is a fork of the previously listed repository:
   https://github.com/xptsp/intel_nuc_led
A pre-compiled DEB installer for the Intel NUC LED kernel is available here:
   https://github.com/xptsp/intel_nuc_led/r....0_all.deb
Please install the build dependencies before installing the DEB file.

Also required is that the LEDs to control be set to "Software Control"!

This allows the user to control whether the power and/or ring LEDs are changed, and the settings used to set both the "normal mode" and "recording mode".  Settings include brightness, color fade/blink, and the colors.  The user is allowed to change the polling period from the default 5 seconds between polls.  Most usages will be communicating with the local Kodi install, however, it can be changed to control another Kodi install.
