Screensaver

To save power and protect the display, the panel activates a screensaver when it's not being used. The screen shows a gentle snow animation and the backlight turns off. Touch the screen to wake it up.

There are two ways to control the screensaver, configured in the Settings tab on the Setup page:

Timer

The screensaver turns on after the panel hasn't been touched for a set amount of time. Choose from:

• 1 minute
• 5 minutes (the default)
• 10, 15, 20, 30, or 45 minutes
• 1 hour

Clock or Display Off

When the screensaver activates, you can choose what happens:

• Clock — shows a large drifting clock at reduced brightness (the default). The clock repositions itself periodically to prevent burn-in.
• Display Off — turns the backlight off completely.

Sensor

Instead of a timer, the screensaver is controlled by a motion or presence sensor (like a mmWave sensor mounted nearby). When someone is in the room, the screen stays on. When nobody is detected, the screen goes to sleep — and wakes up again when someone walks past.

To use this, enter the name of your motion or presence sensor from Home Assistant (for example, binary_sensor.hallway_presence).

TIP

Touching the screen always wakes it up, no matter which mode you're using.
