The power save function may override the settings made with this attribute. Read more about this in section RFID in CORE element, and in Example of a light setup.

attributes

brightnessMax

Range:0 – 100
Default:80
Description:Brightness in %

brightnessMin

Range:0 – 100
Default:0
Description:Brightness in %

brightnessSleep

Range:0 – 100
Default:0
Description:Brightness in % when the terminal is in sleep mode.
Can be overrided by brightnessMin if ChangedDuringDarkness is used and brightnessMin should be used when awake.

darkerThenLessBrightness

Range:true / false
Default:false
Description:If true, the light will decrease when it darkens outside.
If false, the light will increase when it darkens outside.

darknessMode

Range:Threshold, LinearFromThreshold
Default:Threshold
Description:

Threshold: The brightness is set to a fixed (min./max.) value depending on whether the measured ambient light is above or below the threshold set for the ambient light sensor.

LinearFromThreshold: The backlight brightness is changed linearly to the measured ambient light when the measured ambient light is above or below the threshold (depending on the setting of the attribute darkerThenLessBrightness). The hysteresis is not used when LinearFromTreshold mode is selected.

mode

Range:AlwaysOff, AlwaysOn, TurnedOnDuringPurchase, ChangedDuringDarkness, TurnedOnDuringPurchaseInDarkness, TimeControlled, TimeControlledExternalOnOff
Default:ChangedDuringDarkness
Description:

AlwaysOff: The backlight is always off

AlwaysOn: Always ON except when in sleep mode. attribute brightnessMax defines brightness when turned ON

TurnedOnDuringPurchase: Turned ON when selection or payment is started. Turned OFF approximately 10 s after Accept is pressed. attribute brightnessMax defines the brightness when turned ON

ChangedDuringDarkness: The Ambient Light module calculates the brightness value. see ambientLightSensor.

TurnedOnDuringPurchaseIinDarkness: Turned ON when the Ambient Light module determines that it is dark. The Ambient Light module calculates the brightness value. See ambientLightSensor. The result is only used during a purchase.

TimeControlled: Time controlled brightness values

TimeControlledExternalOnOff: Time controlled 12v output

Example:

The external light is switched ON at 40 % brightness during a purchase and is OFF (0 % brightness) in between purchases.
