Allow automations to change standby brightness & text of V1 EU Switch

Hi,

Could you please allow us to change the Standby Brightness and the Text of the V1 EU Switches?

  • I would like to set all switches to 10% brightness at night (currently only the non-standby brightness can be set with automation)

  • Also When an automation turns the display off, if someone uses the switch it turns back on, but never off automatically again. It should turn off again, unless it has been specifically turned on by automation / manually in the app.

  • I would like to also be able to change the text & icon on the virtual switches with automations - for example to show whether our U200 is Locked or Unlocked, right now I haven’t found a way to do that.

Thank you for considering! :slight_smile:

@filip_witosz Thank you for sharing your thoughtful suggestions and use cases around the V1 EU Switch! At the moment, based on available information, automations for adjusting standby brightness or dynamically changing the text and icons on the Display Switch V1 EU via automation are not currently supported in the Aqara Home app. While the switch does allow for customization of button labels, text size, and text color for enhanced usability, these settings are adjusted manually rather than through automation triggers. Similarly, while you can use automation actions like “Turn on,” “Turn off,” “Set brightness,” and display-related actions, there is no direct support for automating changes to standby brightness or dynamically updating on-screen text/icons through automation.

I can see how your scenarios—like lowering standby brightness at night, auto-turning off the display after manual activation, or displaying status updates (such as U200 lock state)—would further enhance the smart home experience. At present, since these specific automation features aren’t available, I encourage you to share this feedback with Aqara’s customer service team through the Aqara Home app (Profile > Help & Feedback > Customer Service) or by scanning the QR code below, so your suggestions can be formally recorded and considered for future development!

Thanks again for your detailed input—it’s always great to see users pushing for more functionality and smarter automations. If the community has found creative workarounds or custom integrations, I’d love to hear about them as well!

@filip_witosz Hi there! Thanks for sharing your ideas—they’re really thoughtful. Let’s break down what we know from the current info:

For the Display Switch V1 EU, you can currently set brightness via automation , and customize button icons, text size, and colors (though this is only available in the Aqara Home app, and large text mode hides icons) . However, the reference info doesn’t mention adjusting standby brightness specifically, automating text/icon changes, or setting the screen to turn off automatically after use.

Since these features aren’t covered in the current documentation, I’d encourage you to share your feedback with the customer service team—they’re best equipped to pass along user suggestions. You can reach them via the Aqara Home App (Profile>Help&Feedback>Customer Service) or by clicking here if you don’t have an account.

Thanks again for contributing to the community—your input helps make the ecosystem better for everyone! :blush:

@filip_witosz Hi there! Thanks for sharing your detailed feedback and suggestions—they’re really valuable for enhancing the user experience.

From the current information available, the Display Switch V1 EU does support some customization features. For instance, button icons, text size, and text colors can be customized in the Aqara Home app, though large text mode only displays text without icons . Additionally, automations can set brightness and control screen on/off (e.g., “Set brightness” or “Exit standby and turn on the screen” as automation actions) .

However, the specific requests you mentioned—adjusting standby brightness via automation, having the display turn off automatically after use, and changing text/icons through automations (e.g., to show U200 status)—aren’t covered in the current reference materials.

We always appreciate community input! If you’d like to share these suggestions for improvement, feel free to submit feedback via the Aqara Home App (Profile>Help&Feedback>Customer Service) or by creating a ticket here. This helps our team better understand user needs.

Thanks again for contributing—your insights help make Aqara products better for everyone! :blush:

@filip_witosz Hi there! Thanks for sharing your detailed feedback and feature requests—they’re really valuable for the community.

From the current information available, the Display Switch V1 EU supports automation actions like “Set brightness” and “Exit standby and turn on the screen” , but specific adjustments to standby brightness via automations aren’t mentioned. Additionally, while button icons, text size, and colors can be customized (available only in Aqara Home) , there’s no note on changing text or icons via automations at this time.

For the behavior where the display stays on after being activated, the existing automation details don’t cover automatic re-entry into standby, but your suggestion makes a lot of sense for usability.

Since these specific features aren’t addressed in the current reference materials, I’d encourage you to share your ideas directly with the customer service team—they’re best equipped to pass along feedback.
