Hi,
Thank you for the link and the feedback! I have used many parts of Masto's implementations in my code. I think the most challenging thing with dimming the screen is to define how it should be done. As the Home page shows the temperature, which I find convenient, I would almost like to keep the screen on at all times. At the same time, a screen that is on all the time can also be annoying as it catches the eye too easily. Also, the life time is limited. With a minimum backlight the temperature is still visible.
Currently I am testing a idea to change automatically back to the Home page from the other pages after 15 sec of inactivity. After further 30 sec the screen is dimmed down to 1 % backlight. I think I will add a feature to black out the screen with Masto's implementation once the screen has been inactive for 5 min. Also, if all lights are off in the house (sleeping) or the alarm is turned on (away), the screen should be off. I also want to be able to wake the screen up slightly (to 1 % backlight) or completely from HA. Once I have implemented and evaluated this, I will add it to the code. :)
I understand! Seems reasonable to me.
Thanks for your work.
Hi, just wanting to share with you a great video that could help you in your todo element : "Dim screen when not used and wake up when used."
Very great project I very like it! Thanks!
