Sorry, I didn't really know how to phrase this question. I have set up a system that removes certain items from my inventory (via a Player Interface from Random things) when I use the Remote from WR-CBE (the system toggles on or off). The system works wonderfully, the only problem I have with it, however, is that the only way to know if it's on or off is by the items remaining or disappearing from my inventory. The Remote is active only while holding right-click and only then it changes its texture (or model, whatever).
The system fixes this with a toggle latch, but I still can't tell when it's on or off. Is there something I can have in my inventory that would tell me when the system is on or off ? Something that reacts to a redstone signal or... ?

Make it insert something into your inventory when it is on? And remove it again when off.

Really don't understand the purpose of the setup though. What do you use it for? Cobble removal when mining?

Yes, it's for mining and exploration, it removes ores, ore drops, tinker's bushes and berries, mob drops, chest loot, some blocks that you get in high amounts while mining
