Topic: Automatic Night mode

I am new to Chumby and I am looking for a way to automatically switch to "Night" mode at a specific time then back to 'Day' mode the rest of the time.

Re: Automatic Night mode

You can use a "custom alarm" to do that.

What you do is make an alarm that doesn't make sound (choose "None" for the audio), then select "Night Mode on".  You can set a similar alarm with "Night Mode off".

Re: Automatic Night mode

It works like a champ!
I also have a silent alarm set to take the Chumby out of NiteMode and launch a channel at 7AM too.

Re: Automatic Night mode

How can I accomplish this with the Dash?  I can't seem to do it the way that's described above (no option in alarm for no sound or night mode).

Re: Automatic Night mode

This capability is not currently supported on the dash - since this is Sony's product, you should post feature requests on their forum (linked from another section on this forum).
