Alongwith ddctrl (https://github.com/kfix/ddcctl https://github.com/kfix/ddcctl), these aliases serve all my external monitor brightness needs:
alias verydull="~/Software/ddcctl/ddcctl -d 1 -b 3 -c 15"
alias dull="~/Software/ddcctl/ddcctl -d 1 -b 6 -c 35"
alias decent="~/Software/ddcctl/ddcctl -d 1 -b 10 -c 40"
alias medium="~/Software/ddcctl/ddcctl -d 1 -b 25 -c 50"
alias bright="~/Software/ddcctl/ddcctl -d 1 -b 30 -c 50"
alias morebright="~/Software/ddcctl/ddcctl -d 1 -b 35 -c 60"
alias superbright="~/Software/ddcctl/ddcctl -d 1 -b 100 -c 80"
- powersnail 6y agoFor Linux, use ddcutil. I wrote a GUI slider that wraps around the command line, so I don't have to type the numbers each time.
- MayeulC 6y agoWell, there's also ddccontrol: https://github.com/ddccontrol/ddccontrol https://github.com/ddccontrol/ddccontrol that has an optional GUI. I think that's the one I've used in the past. Pretty much all monitor settings are exposed.
- bshep 6y agoI made an app to wrap around ddcctl that works on osx, it works fine for my own uses and if anyone want to improve it feels free. https://github.com/bshep/ASUS-DDC-Volume https://github.com/bshep/ASUS-DDC-Volume
- gutnor 6y agoI combine this with https://github.com/nriley/brightness https://github.com/nriley/brightness to retrieve the brightness of the main screen, then I use ddcctl to apply it to the external screen. I set it up in a cron job and that has been running for years now. (the external monitor brightness is not very linear though, so you need to fiddle a big to find the proper/acceptable matching)
