      Thank you @sdetweil .

      • I control the brightness by sending a notification to the MMM-RemoteControl module (code already written and working, no reason to re-invent), found here.
      • Since the brightness is set programmatic ally via css in that module, I’m not sure how various monitors would react, but I tested on three here, including the one behind the mirror, and they seem to work quite the same.
      • I’m taking a single shot once every configurable interval, with a default of 60 seconds.

      Hope I answered all of your questions.

      Eric

        Next to be added:

        • Configurable factor to be added to the brightness level sent to MMM-RemoteControl, to make the brightness range more visible in extreme light/dark cases.

        • CEC support to change the actual brightness of the monitor, if supported.

        • PI camera module support
