Windows 10 external monitor screen brightness #15

I have bound the crown to screen brightness, but neither that nor the screen brightness keys will adjust brightness of an external monitor on a pc. Integration with a 3rd party application like ClickMonitorDDC could make the crown actually useful for screen brightness with external monitors. Any ideas?

Cool, I didn't know about this DDC protocol.

Read up on both the DDC and the Crown SDKs and you might be able to write the plugin to the Logitech driver.

I lack the technical know how to write the code for this.

I think the brightness change is from OS (Win 10). I'm not much familiar with Win 10 configuration to enable external display brightness.

f.lux is my favorite application for reduce eyestrain. I have been using more than a couple years and installed all my family machines. I use most of time with warm color setting except photo editing and gaming. https://justgetflux.com/

f.lux has function that adjust brightness for multiple monitors same time. It is assigned as Alt+PageUp/PageDown as default enabled. It works to adjust multiple monitors. (I have tested only 2 monitors.)

Then you can set custom key for all application or particular application only (ex. movie player).

Ratchet can be either on or off.

ClickMonitorDDC seems to be able to customize for keyboard shortcut. So I think it would work with custom key feature in Logi Option as well.
