Use webCoRE to control a PC monitor's brightness?

#1

I currently use f.lux to change my computer monitor’s temperature depending on time of day, and it works great.

But…I need a way to adjust the monitor’s brightness, as different pistons fire in webCoRE. For example, if it’s after dark and I switch to movie mode (change some lights to candle and dim them, etc.), then I would also like to cut the monitor’s brightness. I use a Wemo switch to turn it on and off, but can’t find a way to actually talk to the PC via webCoRE.

I can think of all kinds of cool reasons that I may want to interact with the PC through webCoRE, but the monitor brightness would suffice for now. :slight_smile:

Thoughts?

So this is more of response for hopefully pointing you in a direction. Not a solution. Not saying it can not be done but first you need a api call that both the monitor control point and webcore can speak to each other with. If not native you have to have something between webcore and the control point to translate.

Windows 10 has an API - api capability for screen brightness https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/uwp/api/windows.graphics.display.brightnessoverride (not sure how you would get webcore to talk to it though)
