[BUG] ALS detected but doesn't really work
theGeekyLad opened this issue · comments
Clight version the issue has been seen with:
4.9-8069945
Used distribution:
Arch Linux (6.2.9-arch1-1)
Describe the bug
Great work with the project! I see that the brightness auto-increases when the window is darker and vice versa when lighter. Nonetheless, though clight detects my ALS (through busctl call org.clightd.clightd /org/clightd/clightd/Sensor/Als org.clightd.clightd.Sensor Capture "sis" "" 5 ""), I don't see any visible change in the brightness level when I'm on a certain window and the ambient light levels fluctuate (checked by covering the ALS with a finger). I can confirm that the sensor does report different values when covered with a finger and when not with this command - cat /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio\:device0/in_illuminance_raw.
Expected behavior
As the ambient light levels (of my room) fluctuate, the brightness must vary (e.g. when the table top lamp is turned on).
To Reproduce
Ran clight and clight -d /dev/iio:device0.

Hi! Thank you for the kind words :)
A similar issue is being tracked on Clightd: FedeDP/Clightd#88
I shared some commands whose output is really helpful. I'd move the discussion over there since this is 100% a clightd problem ;)
