Hi! There were some bugs in Clight 4.10 related to old config management; can you try to upgrade to Clight-git? It should solve those issues!
Also, I need to find the spare time to release Clight 4.11...

No, you were right, the log entry about which file is being read is based on the verbosity set in /etc/clight/clight.conf, but then the local file overrides that verbosity.

Thank you, I installed clight-git 4.11.r1.ge256faa-1 and There is no longer any errors about the config, but the transitions are still not smooth and my transition settings are still ignored.

Mmmh interesting! Can you enable verbose logs?
Moreover,
Clight abruptly changes backlight brightness in steps of 3-7% which is very jarring.
This is most probably caused by SCREEN module doing its work; does the same happen when you are on battery (ie: when screen module is disabled)?
Also
- Smooth trans: Enabled
- Smooth step: 0.05
- Smooth timeout: 500
- Smooth fixed: 0
It seems like you have smoothing enabled with a 5% step, therefore it is the expected behavior that backlight is updated with 5% steps.

It seems like you have smoothing enabled with a 5% step, therefore it is the expected behavior that backlight is updated with 5% steps.
So the log says, but my actual config looks like this:
## Uncomment to disable smooth transitions
# no_smooth_transition = true;
## Transition step in percentage
trans_step = 0.002;
## Transition timeout in ms
trans_timeout = 1000;
## When > 0, use a fixed transition duration (in ms),
## overriding trans_timeout and trans_step configs.
trans_fixed = 1000;

Is this from backlight.conf config file?
Can you share your /etc/clight/clight.conf and /etc/clight/modules.conf.d/backlight.conf?

Extension changed to make shareable:
backlight.conf.txt
clight.conf.txt
I tried setting verbose in clight.conf, but this too gets ignored. Log from --verbose:

I didn't realize there is a /home/lutra/.config/clight.conf. Gimme a minute.
Edit: Ah that must be from running clight -w

commented on August 24, 2024
Well this is odd. It seems that my settings in /etc/ now work after I deleted ~/.config/clight.conf, even though it didn't work before, when that file did not exist. All I have changed is that I added regression points from -w to /etc/clight/modules.conf.d/sensor.conf, although if I comment that out, nothing changes.
I have no explanation for what happened, but the issue seems to be gone. Closing.

Are you sure that a local config was not present before? Local config files override global ones, thus that would explain everything!
