[Suggestion] GL-E5800 Mudi 7 Screen timeout

Router
1

Hi,

This unit is working very well for me so far, with Starlink in Bypass mode. I would like an interface showing Starlink information built-in to the firmware but I know there’s a separate Github project for that, although not specifically for this unit.

My suggestion would be to add the ability to change the screen timeout, either / or both through the unit’s display under screen settings and the Display Management settings in the router firmware.

Thanks

I might be wrong, but isn't the screen timeout already implemented?
See Display Management - GL.iNet Router Docs 4

That’s for the GL-BE3600, scroll down for the GL-E5800 and there are less options available.

I quickly tested it on my Mudi 7:

The selected Auto Lock timeout controls the screen turnoff as well. So at least you can keep the screen turned on for at least 5 minutes so far.

However, you can overwrite these settings using SSH:

uci set gl_screen.generic.AUTO_LOCK_TIME='0'
uci commit gl_screen
/etc/init.d/gl_screen restart

0 seems to disable screen auto lock completely. But you can insert any lock time in seconds.
