It’s right beside my bed and I can’t sleep with the annoying glow. The dimming is not enough on the screensaver mode.
So I have it set to turn screen off after 60 seconds of no activity. Problem is, no detection in dark and I’m trying to avoid turning a light on in the middle of the night so it can detect me.
From my understanding, there is no setting to completely turn off the screen and be able to swipe the screen to wake it up.

Unfortunately, most tablets (and particularly not the Amazon Fire Tablets) do not have infrared “proximity detectors” that many smartphones have.
Smartphones have this feature in order to to turn off the screen when held up to ear, or to turn on the screen when you wave over them… Though proximity sensing “broke” on my Moto X PE several weeks ago with no obvious explanation. Perhaps the infrared LED or sensor broke.
Regardless - Maybe if tablet makers knew what we were using them for, they would add such a feature. But I think even the Amazon Show doesn’t do this… Probably because it is meant to be voice activated.
