yabd - yet another brightness daemon

yabd is a simple (~300 lines of python) daemon that sets the brightness of the screen depending on ambient brightness.

This is free and open source software.

Features include:

Set brightness depending on ambient brightness sensor.
Dim screen with a dbus command (for use with swayidle or similar).
Optionally ramps brightness up and down smoothly.
Uses dbus interfaces systemd-logind (8) (to set brightness) and iio-sensor-proxy. This means it should be compatible with any window system / wayland / tty.
