There are some differences in the electronics in this device vs, the Chumby One, and one of the differences is that there's a *lot* of variation in the brightness behavior across devices.  Most of them are actually too dark - it appears you got one that's too bright for a given setting.

I'll see what I can to in the Control Panel to address this.

Please confirm, though - is the brightness level of Night Mode acceptable, or can you adjust it to a level that's acceptable?

Yes, the Night Mode brightness slider will dim the screen all the way to "black"but all the way to the darkest setting, the Day Mode will still light up the room at night.

Hello Duane,
Yep, I knew it was PWM, but thought that if I could reduce the voltage/current in each pulse (resistor) that it might dim the display accordingly.

That aside, I did find something interesting though…
Even though the Day Mode brightness control is at its lowest setting (and too bright), I wondered what would happen if I set an alarm to set the brightness to “dim”.

You know what?
It dimmed the screen even further than the slider would dim it…about half again as bright.

So…you can dim it a lot further, but not with the slider.

It would be nice if the slider had a lower brightness setting, but for now I just set an alarm to dim the screen at night and another to set it to bright during the day.

That's good to know. So I guess in a fashion, I can use the Night Mode brightness setting for my widget and get a darker screen.

Thanks Duane :-)

Just loaded the latest software update...

Thanks Duane.

Odd...mine started doing the same thing today.

On mine, it does not seem to save the actual setting. I am trying to dim the nightmode, but it always returns to the original setting, unless I dim it to the level that the screen is off.
