i never used the screensaver, because i got an input slider for brightness from the beginning.
so i cant tell if the screensaver would have preferences over brightness.
personally i never dim completely. (in the night to 1%)
because the web api to a wifi device can fail and when its 100% black you dont have control at all.
with 1% there is just enough to see something in the dark, so its always available.
but even that is just a small estimation for others.
it doesnt tell how bright you have your screen normally, what screen you display, how old your battery is, etc.
the time needed to unload and reload a battery from a tablet depends on many factors and is almost as personal as the use from a tablet.
Oh I fully get this. How else would I answer “how long is a piece of string?”
At least it should give some idea of an approximate ballpark figure… Ish…
Copy fully.py into a folder in config/python_scripts/ if you don’t have that folder then create it. Copy services.yaml in to config/python_scripts/ as well, if you already have a services.yaml then just append the contents to that file. This will create a service called python_script.fully that you can use to make automations. If you view the service under DEVELOPER TOOLS > SERVICES then you will see the info for all the different variables you can call, so you don’t have to refer back to the docs in the future.
However , when i look into the developer tools>services, the python_script fully is empty
My sensors work (not sure of the benefit, since you can see all that stuff through fully remote admin portal too :p)
What am i doing wrong?
Edit:
My battery sensor says its unavailable? Whats wrong there too?
@ReneTode
Willing to share your config? (also the othere repliers here:p)
I’ve tested this noon 12pm my tablet was on 60%, at 15pm already at 15% battery
Thats fast
You said to dim it or use the screensaver.
Is that also done directly from fkb?
i know i can turn it on/off directly… but as i said, thats not working when plugged in…
When i unplug it, and set it to turn on/off it works but my battery is drain in 6 hours or smth, so thats not an option
Unless i can get it to 3 days or something by changing it sensitiveness or something…
If i’m stuck on 6-12 hours with battery, then thats not an option and i do need to power it up all time, but then i cant use the on/off screen and have to do something else
I hope you understand me?
I’m not sure to power it up/ not powering up, wich relates to how to turn on/off screen or use screensaver or dim the screen
It will a combination of those 2 things with those other 3 things
it’s odd you can’t dim the screen when plugged. That’s what I do. But if indeed it only works when not powered, then a cheap smart switch would do the trick (turn the switch off, change the screen, turn the power on)
Unless you must use POE…
