Enhancement Request: Pass Brightness Through to HA
Request: Pass the Brightness value through to Home Assistant as you do for Zoom, Focus, and Auto Focus.
The implementation of the additional configuration settings for the RLC-811A for Zoom, Focus, and Auto Focus work magnificently. This request is to pass the brightness through to HA. This value is available in the API.
There's other values for Contrast, Saturation, and Sharpness but I'm not concerned with those. The use case of the brightness is I need to be able to dynamically control the brightness throughout the day as the lighting conditions change.
In the morning when I have eastern facing sun, I want the brightness to be X. After the sun goes over the house, I want to increase the brightness. I can automate this in home assistant with my many light sensors, but the only way it works is if I have a dynamic way to control camera brightness inside HA.
There doesn't appear to be a way to set up brightness schedules/adapters in the native reolink app; getting it into HA is the next best thing.
There are a lot of the config values in the ISP settings, however I dont want to flood home assistant with tons of configuration options, when it does not have a good way to group them. You do provide a valid use for it though so I will see about adding it at some point.
