Generic display brightness

[Moko]

Heyy,

Regarding adjusting the brightness of generic screens, those with a good quality backlight driver that accepts a PWM signal !

The Raspberry Pi does support PWM output, and I was able to test it and adjust my screen's brightness directly from the terminal !

But I don't know how or by what method I'll be able to control the brightness from Hudiy !

Otherwise, excellent system; I find it more complete and customizable than OpenAuto Pro.

Thanks everyone !

Hello, we're glad to hear that you enjoy using Hudiy.

Regarding the topic, there are several ways to control e. g. the screen brightness via the terminal in Hudiy.

As a starting point, you can use a simple Python script that runs the appropriate commands to increase or decrease the brightness. Then, using the Hudiy API, you can create and register your own actions inside such a script, and then bind and trigger them using shortcuts.

Another way is HTML/JS - Hudiy can display HTML/JS as interface elements. You can create a simple HTML/JS page with brightness controls, which would send requests to your Python script via a basic REST API, and the script would then execute the appropriate brightness commands. Then you can display and use such HTML/JS page as an application, widget or overlay in Hudiy.

On our GitHub you can find documentation for mentioned topics:

Hey Moko,

Just to give you a quick help of what I did.

First I created a shortcut with icon label "settings" that opens an html file.

Then I created an html file - where is a slider for changing the brighntess of the screen and also a button for automatic brighntess adjustment.
In general, I use TLS2561 senzor for getting LUX value, then a script in python that runs automatically after start of the Pi that reads the values from the sensor and adjust the brightness of the screen. If I move the slider, the script that sets brightness automatically stops. All the code related stuff I did with an AI, since I cant even print Hello world to the CLI... Ascreenshot of the slider and above the slider is a switch/button to turn on the script for automatic brightness.
Works great!

I tried using WebSocket and the API, but I didn't get any results. I'll stick with HTML for now, but I was wondering if it's possible to prevent the HTML from displaying in full screen ? So that when it opens, it displays as if it were part of the Hudiy menu !
I'm waiting for a solution for a more efficient integration !

When you use your HTML page as an application in Hudiy, it will be embedded in the Hudiy UI and displayed just like this (example with YT Music):

I'm going to do that; I have no other choice !
Anyway, I think the function should be integrated into Hudiy when using an official Raspberry Pi screen or a DDC-compatible screen.
I know the possibilities are almost endless, and this is just the beginning of the adventure for Hudiy.
I'm eagerly awaiting the next updates.
