LED brightness control #395

Hi, I previously installed the traditional way and I recall settings for LED brightness at sunrise/sunset/etc. I recently had to flash and reinstall and I reinstalled from the image - is there still a way to control the LED brightness?

Under the sbio section of the config.json, there's a dimmer section. Set it to be enabled and the source to be software and it'll use your location to set the brightness based on sunrise and sunset.

"dimmer": { "enabled": false, "source": "software", "daytime": "", "nighttime": "", "offset": 0, "frequency": 5, "light_level_lux": 400, "mode": "always", "sunset_brightness": 5, "sunrise_brightness": 40 },
