Ambient Light Daemon
Automatically adjusts backlight brightness on the current light level. Uses the luminance sensor of a laptop to determine a target brightness, the user can further adjust the brightness between updates to give the program an offset to respect.
Check for Support
This program needs an ambient light sensor, you can check if your device has one
by running cat /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0/in_illuminance_raw this should
give a number and not an error
Install
Copy ambient.py to a directory in PATH: sudo cp ambientd.py /usr/local/bin/ambientd
User Service
