Hi carl, currently the Lenovo Smart Clock Essential can only Dim to 1% screen brightness. To do this you can say "Okay Google screen brightness 1%". If you need further assistance please reach out to Lenovo Tech Support at 866-426-0911
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.There has been a firmware update since the last answer - this model now has the ability to turn the screen off completely at night. You can even set a schedule in the Google Home app to have it automatically shut off at a set time every night.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes. You must say this exact phrase: “Hey Google, turn off the display”. It will say OK, turning the screen off. Which is weird because if you say “Hey Google turn the screen off” it will say Sorry I don’t understand.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, the "set the screen brightness to zero percent" is what I use. It is not a persistent setting, however. Any time you interact with the assistant, the screen brightness will return to whatever non-zero value it had before. I therefore set up a macro so I just tell it "go dark" and it will first set screen brightness to 1% (anything up to 15% produces the same), turn off the nightlight in case it happens to be on, then sets screen brightness to 0%. That way if I ask it the time in the middle of the night, I won't be blasted by a super-bright screen and can just tell it to "go dark" again afterward.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I believe you can say, "hey Google, reduce the screen brightness to zero percent."
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
