Auto-exit brightness set mode after x seconds. #7

When I'm in the brightness adjustment mode, if I don't manually exit out, it will stay in that mode indefinitely, and not update the numbers (I think). I adjusted the brightness earlier today, and started noticing after ~2 hours that wow, the AQI has been super steady all day... and then noticed the brightness bar, turned it off, and the numbers updated. :-)

Suggest adding a timer that auto-exits the brightness set mode after some number of seconds (10, 30, 60?) without any any button presses.

Would it exit saving the current value? I'm thinking that's the best. This can also happen during setting the correction, but I guess it is blinking at you in that case.

Well, I picked 2 minutes, because I hate things that go away while I am looking something up. And 2 minutes seems like an eternity! But after 2 minutes, we are pretty sure somebody forgot.

That all sounds good... saving current value, and 2min. Thanks for the quick fix!
