light VS Clight

I'm using wayland/hyprland and using light from https://github.com/haikarainen/light to control the lighting.

Try light. The repo's been archived, but still works as of today.

Copy code sudo apt install light For Fedora-based systems, you might have to build and install it from the source. You can find the instructions on the official GitHub page: https://github.com/haikarainen/light

For brightness, I use [light](https://github.com/haikarainen/light) and these key binds:

I found this which seems helpful although I don't have enough experience with writing Linux modules https://github.com/haikarainen/light/blob/master/DOCUMENTATION.md

I don't know what is torch in this case but controlling leds can be done with a tool called light: https://github.com/haikarainen/light

I am trying to make my Thinkpad's keyboard led's to work with the keybinds in dwm. I am using this program to control the led: https://github.com/haikarainen/light It works when using manually, but the set command requires number '100' to turn led on and number '0' to switch it off.

My Fn keys are bound to light, so I can't say for sure it would work in all environments.

There is also Clight (https://github.com/FedeDP/Clight) if you want automatic backlight adjusting given ambient brightness. It supports external monitors through ddcutil C library and has many more features to offer.

Here are two suggestions from the Arch Wiki, try Clight or macbook-lighter. Clight looks to be continuously maintained, so I'd try that one first.

Clight can do that. See the config file.

Installed light, clight, clightd and acpilight

If you're using a laptop screen, there's Clight, which can turn your webcam into an ambient light sensor.

Clight is a lightweight C user daemon utility program that turns your webcam into a light sensor which it depends on to automatically adjust your screen’s display based on ambient light. Just like Redshift, Clight can manipulate the temperature of your screen and it derived inspiration from Calise.

Check out Clight. There's also a GUI for it.

The only downside to Clight? You need to build not only Clight and Clightd from source, but also 2 dependencies (libmodule and ddcutil), as well as the Clight-GUI if you want to use it. That is, unless you use Arch Linux / Manjaro (there are AUR packages available), NixOS, Exherbo or Void Linux, for which there are packages available.
