Hi,

sorry if im stupid and this exist already and over read it in the documentation.

i would like to have three settings for the screen.

  1. turn off after 10 min so first setup should be done (maybe toggle on this feature after the first setup so its not running 24/7) or reenable screen when something changes like hdmi or hid disconnect.

  2. option to turn off screen Completly

  3. after time frame/s like on from 10-12 CET/CEST and 18-20 CET/CEST

but i think 1 and 2 are the most Important

Any news about this feature? Running an OLED screen 24/7 with the same static image will only cause burn in.

Hello, you can achieve this function by updating to the latest version (2.1.2): by pressing the BOOT button, you can turn the OLED on or off. There is a small hole next to the Full version USB HID interface, and the BOOT button is located inside that hole. But this may not be user-friendly for earlier versions of the case. The OLED toggle feature will be added to the WebUI in future updates.

In case anyone is wondering why they can't seem to reach the boot button 🤣

Can I propose when it is implemented in the WebUI, it should behave like this:

  1. OLED always displays info when first powered on
  2. After everything is ready, e.g. it has gotten IP address etc, basically define what is ready, then follow the saved configuration
  3. If device cannot reach ready, then display remains ON and does not follow the saved configuration
  4. Message could be a short Error! that gets the attention of anyone who is more attentive

@bilogic Thanks for your shooting and suggestions. This design is indeed quite uncomfortable, but I have to consider keeping the OLED control on the hardware switch itself. I’ll try to add these features in future updates, thanks!

@Z2Z-GuGu maybe changing to a 90 degree right angle button will help?

TypeScript and Go are not my first languages, but if you could point out the code to on/off the display, I will try and see if I can get it into the UI.

Unfortunately this is far from a good solution because:

  • pressing the BOOT button causes the HID to malfunction - no longer able to control the end device until NonoKVM is rebooted (reset HID option does not help)
  • rebooting NanoKVM turns the screen back on

This may be due to the USB port becoming loose when the BOOT button is pressed, resulting in an unstable connection to the host. We are adding this feature to the webpage to prevent such hardware issues. We hope to release the new 2.1.3 application this week.
