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).

Setting	Default	Description
Daytime Brightness	100%	Day (10-100%)
Nighttime Brightness	75%	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.

Setting	Default	Description
Schedule Screen Off	Off	Use scheduled on/off
On Time	6	Backlight on (hour)
Off Time	23	Backlight off (hour)
When Woken, Idle Time To Screen Off	60 seconds	How long a touch wake stays on during the off period

In Home Assistant, Screen: Sleep and Screen: Wake expose the same sleep/wake behavior as the touchscreen controls. Sleep pauses the slideshow fetch loop instead of only dimming the panel.

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.

90 and 270 degree rotations are hidden unless Developer Features is enabled. Turning Developer Features off resets portrait rotation back to 0 degrees.

Setting	Default	Description
Rotation	0 degrees	Rotate the screen to 0 or 180 degrees.
