Clightd

Clightd is a bus interface that lets you easily set/get screen brightness, gamma temperature and display dpms state.
Moreover, it enables getting ambient brightness through webcam frames capture or ALS devices.

It works on both X, Wayland and tty.
On wayland specific protocols need to be implemented by your compositor; have a look at {Gamma, Dpms, Screen} wiki pages.

Clightd is used as a backend by Clight.

For a guide on how to build, features and lots of other infos, refer to Clightd Wiki Pages.
Note that Wiki pages will always refer to master branch.
