Espframe Screen Brightness and Display Settings

Display controls in Settings: brightness (day/night), tone, optional schedule, and rotation. Available in the web UI and (where applicable) Home Assistant.

Screen Brightness

Screen Brightness sets day and night levels; the frame switches by sunrise/sunset from your timezone. Sunrise/sunset shown below the sliders. In HA: Screen: Backlight (on/off + brightness).

Daytime Brightness100%Day (10–100%)
Nighttime Brightness75%Night (10–100%)

Night Schedule

Night Schedule turns the display fully off outside a time window: it switches to a black page, pauses LVGL, turns the backlight light off, and forces the physical PWM output off. When Schedule Screen Off is off, only day/night brightness applies. On/Off are hour-of-day (0–23). In HA: Screen: Schedule Enabled, Screen: Schedule On Hour, Screen: Schedule Off Hour, Screen: Schedule Wake Timeout.

When Woken, Idle Time To Screen Off60 secondsHow long a touch wake stays on during the off period

Rotation

Rotation rotates the LVGL display layer, so the picture and touch input turn together. This uses ESPHome 2026.4's LVGL rotation support.

The setting only exposes normal and upside-down orientations. On the 10" model, the firmware keeps its internal 90-degree panel offset and maps these two choices onto the correct LVGL values.
