Feature Request - Display Brightness Schedule

[Trotter73]

Hi,

Great project, I got the parts to make the clock for my Birthday really happy with the display, it's fantastic, many thanks !!

Would it be possible to use a schedule to control the display brightness rather than the use of an LDR ? 

This would be very handy for turning the display off when on one is around to see it, saving a tiny bit of energy and extending the life of the display.

It looks like one of the forks of your project have tried to do this as an FYI...

Many Thanks,
Doofer.

With the ESPHome version (https://github.com/aschoelzhorn/clockwise-esphome) you can use an HomeAssistant automation for the schedule.

Hi,

Thanks for the heads up, I've flirted with HomeAssistant in the past but it isn't something I currently use, maybe this year I'll have a look and see hows its came along since I last used it.

Thanks again.
