Just updated to 3.13 and now my oled display is no longer showing anything after boot

#1

As the title says.
I just updated the firmware to the latest version yesterday and now my oled display in my airgradient is not showing anything after it is done booting (The oled display still shows everything while it is booting up, so it is definitely still working.)
So all I can see after the device has finished booting up is the leds up in the top right that indicates the overall air quality.

My airgradient is connected to my home assistant and the readings are going through fine to that, it is just on the device itself that there seems to be an issue. Is this some new default setting or is this a known issue or due to something I did wrong?

Is your device also going to the AirGradient Dashboard?

By default when you add the Home Assistant integration, it changes the device’s configuration to Local, so all configuration is done locally. It is possible that the display brightness has been sent to 0% so it is “off” now.

If you have it configured on the AirGradient Dashboard, you could try changing the Configuration to Cloud and then it should use the settings from the Dashboard, which only has the display off at night.

My device is still going to the airgradient dashboard as well.

Now that it is day here, I can actually see that the oled works during the day, so I guess it is working as intended and it was just a new feature that I wasn’t aware of that lowers the brightness and turns off the display at night. I might want to change those settings. Though I am unsure where I do this at the moment, but I will look into that.

Thank you very much for helping me figure out what was happening :slight_smile:

You can control this on the Dashboard under Menu>General Settings>LED & Display>Day & Night Time
