Dark screen, can’t see clock at night

I use my second GEN hub as an alarm clock at night. The problem I’m having is when it gets dark in my room I cannot see the clock at all. The clock dims when the lights go out and then to dark. 

the display settings I have selected:

low light activation: dark

during low light: show Clock

minimum brightness: Bright

screen timeout: is in the off position

theme: light

Ambient EQ: auto brightness offset is all the way Right (brighter)

color matching: Always

 

I am not sure of any other settings and could use some help. I want the clock to be at 35% to 50%

thanks

Hey sjm1027,

 

Thanks for reaching out. 

 

Whenever the room is dark, Low-light mode will be enabled. It will be enabled regardless if Ambient EQ is on or off. When in Low-light mode, your display will either show the time or turn the screen off completely. You can adjust the settings for when to activate Low-light mode, and select what you’d like the screen to show during Low-light mode when you navigate to the Display settings on your Home app. Check this guide for additional information.

 

Best,

Alex
