I am glad to present you all my latest project: clight.
Clight will set your screen backlight level by capturing frames from webcam and computing ambient brightness; it can manage your screen gamma temperature too.
It uses geoclue2 to retrieve user location, and will compute sunrise/sunset times to set gamma.
It depends on a Bus interface i developed together with it, Clightd.
Clightd is responsible of setting/getting screen brightness, capture frames from webcam and returning their average brightness, and setting/getting gamma.
As it uses libudev to get/set backlight/get video device, it is much less prone to mistakes than "fopen/fscanf/fprintf", and safer.
Both softwares are distributed with a GPL license.
For more informations, please refer to both projects READMEs.
I hope someone will find them interesting and useful!
