Script description

AutoBrightness is a headless background script that manages your device's overall LED brightness throughout the day so it stays readable in daylight without being harsh at night:

• Scheduled Day & Night Levels: Set independent target brightness values (1–255) for daytime (default 140) and nighttime (default 12).
• Smooth Gradual Transitions: Instead of an abrupt jump, brightness ramps up linearly starting at your configured Day start hour (default 6:00 AM) and ramps down before your Night start hour (default 10:00 PM) over a configurable Fade duration (1–120 minutes, default 30).
• Zero-Overhead Headless Mode: Runs silently in the background alongside your active apps, checking once per minute and only updating device settings when the target brightness value changes.
