My proposal is to use the LED on the Inari Blue TOH for notifications. If you receive a message (in a bottle), the Inari Blue TOH LED will turn on and pulse. This is useful for people who lay their Jolla phone on the table with the display facing down, so you can see when notifications are waiting. Perhaps the pulsing speed or blinking pattern could be programmable.

Does anyone here still know which command the new Inari Blue button in the top bar uses to switch the Jolla logo’s fading light on and off on the Inari Blue TOH (dbus command, binary, etc.)?
According to /usr/share/jolla-settings/pages/toh/EnableSwitch.qml, it starts / stops (KillUnit) the user-level systemd service for jolla-csd-tohd.service which is managing the exec /usr/libexec/csd/toh-memory passed with --track to it.
Top menu entry located at /usr/share/jolla-settings/entries/toh.json

Thank you for the valuable hints!
Ok, so we can start and stop the light on console with:
systemctl --user start jolla-csd-tohd.service
systemctl --user stop jolla-csd-tohd.service
So I’ll research how to read out when a new message arrives, and then turn the logo on and off. Maybe someone with more experience, who’s faster than me, could paste his solution here (shell script, etc.).
Other idea is to use Situations- or Automagic-App for this.
Addendum: When I turn on the light using the Top-Menu Button and then turn it off using a console command, the button stays on. After the first use of the console command, the button can be changed, but it no longer turns the light on or off. This issue needs to be investigated.

You should put into a dedicated bug report, else it will not be seen.
–and now a question to the forum SW: why is this quote not formatted as quote?
i personally like to have this for missed calls only. for sure best would be configurable solution from @Jolla but as there is “only” 10k toh now i dont have a hope for that… they may start to produce this TOH in more colors for all customers anyway 
otherwise periodically check commhistory-tool or directly /home/defaultuser/.local/share/commhistory/commhistory.db and then control toh led…
Looks like the quotation marks "" were somehow changed into their typographic counterparts “”, breaking the formatting code.

Thx, looks like.
I used the forum’s context menu “copy quote” and I cannot enter that “ without being changed…
But iirc now this was (already, also by me?) discussed earlier. So let us not go off-topic here.
