iPad dashboard: use motion sensor for iPad backlight

Hey

Thanks for the iPad dashboard. Really nice to finally offer a wall mounted home control solution.

Can you control the iPad backlight? I’d like to have some routines like

If motion sensed and mode is not NIGHT then illuminate iPad backlight. Set brightness level at 80%.

If motion sensed for 8 seconds and mode is NIGHT then illuminate iPad backlight. Set brightness level at 2%.

I think this will help increase the display lifetime and also make a bedroom mount possible.

Thanks!

Don’t think iOS allows for control of OS settings like that.

I think android might be able to with sharptools and tasker.
