AutoBrightness

Simple solution to measure ambient room lighting conditions with an AtTiny85 based USB lux sensor and set external display backlight intensity accordingly via DDC/CI.

See this blog post for details.

Sensor

Uses a Digispark Rev. 3 clone with a GY-302 BH1750 breakout board connected to the I2C bus.

Quick Start

Check out the repo and required submodules.

git clone https://git.xythobuz.de/thomas/AutoBrightness.git
cd AutoBrightness
git submodule update --init

Build the firmware and upload it.

make -C sensor upload

Prepare udev rules for our new device.

sudo cp sensor/49-autobrightness.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/49-autobrightness.rules
sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
sudo udevadm trigger

Client

Uses KWin scripting to get the active window from the KDE window manager. This is used to pause adjustments while a fullscreen window is focused (eg. while gaming). Also sends status updates to a local InfluxDB.

Quick Start

Install dependency and run the client.

yay -S python-pyusb
./client/brightness.py
