      @cowboysdude have you got any ideas on how I block the blacklight so it could be kept it on at night? I’m thinking about using a variant of 1 way glass but would love your opinion.

        @cowboysdude I know this is like 7 months later, but my parts only just arrived. Do you have any ideas on ways to block the backlight? a mirror order isn’t exactly possible with the cost, I was thinking maybe blockout blinds or some kind of privacy glass layer?

          I’d think there should be a way to control the dimming of the display. kind of like using night mode on a smartphone. Not sure how one would get it to work off the top of my head, but I would think it would be the cheapest and probably easiest way to go about it.

            You might also look at these modules:

            https://github.com/Txukie/MMM-LCDControl

            https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/735/remote-control-shutdown-configure-and-update-your-magicmirror/231

            Sounds like they may have the LCD control you are possibly looking for…

              @justjim1220 thanks for that, however it appears that it just turns off the display. I am either looking for a way to drop the backlight lower than default minimum (probably impossible) or some way of putting a layer to block most light.

                For those using the official 7" display you can use MMM-Screendimmer

                Or write directly to /sys/class/backlight/rpi_backlight/brightness

                  @emlowe Thanks, but I can’t since I use the 10.1" adafruit display, looking at the pinout it seems there is a way to control it, but I will have to manually wire it to the pi and write up a driver.
