Adjusting monitor brigthtness level via software

@KirAsh4 That would indeed be a great solution. Will ask one of my friends to have a look into that, maybe he can tap into the brightness settings this way.

As I don’t have my mirror put together at this stage (It’s just a screen attached to a Pi), have you tried lowering the brightness at night so that only the text is visible but not the screen? So what I’m asking is: is controlling the screen brightness the key to hiding the screen at night or does the text become illegible if we do that?

I have not.

@KirAsh4 Well, if you ever feel like experimenting, let me know :)

Not any time soon. I’m coping with a family loss at the moment and haven’t touched anything in 3 weeks.

@KirAsh4 Sorry to hear that. All the best for you.
