How do you disable the low light mode, so even at night when the room is dark the them display setting you chose is shown. Right it now displays the them setting for a few seconds the defaults to the black screen with a clock you can barely read.

 

annoying feature

Thanks, but this not disable the low light function it just allows you to set up how it works once it activates. I am wanting to basically turn of this function, like you are able to do for sleep sensing and quick gestures. So when the bedroom becomes dark it does not bring up the clock only display (which is very hard to read at night) . I want to be able to have the screen display what is selected under the Photo Frame function to be visible when the room is dark, like one of clock faces selected in the fullscreen clock options.

Hi Everyone,

 

Thanks for posting. Sorry to hear the previous steps didn't resolve the issue.

 

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, the 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.

 

Here are some steps you can try: 

  • From the bottom of the display, swipe up.
  • In the bottom left, find the light icon.
  • Check that there is an A in the light icon.
  • If not, tap the light icon to turn Ambient EQ off.
  • Afterwards, set your preferred brightness.

After making these changes, please reboot your display. This will ensure the new settings take effect.

 

keep me updated.

 

Cheers,

Jonathan
