[BUG] Disabling auto brightness not working

[thehijacker]

Bug report

Describe the bug

My devices is next to a Philips Ambilight TV. When TV is on and LED lights around it are lit the brightness on Awtrix display keeps changing. My solution was to detect when TV is turned on, auto brightness would be disabled so it doesn't change all the time. But this is not working correctly.

Additional information

• Devices involved:
  • Model: Ulanzi Awtrix Smart Pixel Clock 2882 (TC001)
  • awtrix3 version: 0.96

To Reproduce

When I detect TV is on (smart power plug, power usage check) I send this over MQTT (using Home Assistant):

actions:
  - action: mqtt.publish
    metadata: {}
    data:
      topic: awtrix_dnevna/settings
      payload: |-
        {       
          "BRI": 10, 
          "ABRI": false
        }

When TV is turned off I enabled automatic brightness with:

actions:
  - action: mqtt.publish
    metadata: {}
    data:
      topic: awtrix_dnevna/settings
      payload: |-
        {
          "ABRI": true
        }

Expected behavior

I expect the brightness will be set to fixed value of 10 and automatic brightness would be disabled. But instead the brightness still automatically changes depending on the brightness level of the surrounding LED.

Screenshots

I can make a video of needed.
