Screen Brightness and Variables

Hi,

I was wondering if it is possible to set the screen brightness value from a variable please.

Hi,

Sorry no, the action to set the screen brightness does not support variables.

Thanks for replying Martin, could I put this in as a feature request please.

I'm liking the interaction between Automagic and Zooper and it would be a useful addition.

Regards Mark.

Hi,

I have to correct myself, it's not very comfortable but you could use action Set System Setting to set screen_brightness to a value between 1 and 255 or with a variable replacement like {brightness}. Newer Android versions should automatically apply the new brightness when the setting is modified.
You can also read the current value stored in the system settings database with action Init Variable System Setting and store it in a variable.

Martin
