I can only tell because of the display only reacting to "Brightness when idle"...
I want the LED and Display to be on-low when the machine is on, and when the machine is switched off, to turn off the the display.
Currently, the "brightness" setting does nothing, and the screen responds only to "brightness when idle". So I can switch it off, but this turns it off while the machine is running.
My system is running through an Octo, so I am sure I am simply missing a setting, but I'm not sure what I can change to fix this so that it responds to "brightness" when on, and "brightness when idle" when the machine is powered off.
I should note that I cannot stop supplying power to USB when it's off as I have a LeakShield and that obviously needs to remain on.
Is there a setting somewhere in the Octo perhaps, that is preventing my Highflow from changing between on/idle states?
I don't have a High Flow Next (wish I did) so I can't check this specifically but I don't understand what the Octo has to do with your issue. What do you mean by "My system is running through an Octo"? I am assuming that you also have an Octo which is fine but the High Flow Next plugs into a USB port just like the Octo. Are you connecting the High Flow Next to the Octo via an Aquabus connection because I don't think you can do that. The Octo does have an Aquabus port but it is not listed in the compatible devices for the Aquabus port on the High Flow Next in the owners manual. These Aquabus ports are intended to connect to an Aquaero controller as slave devices.
The High Flow Next owners manual section 9.1 talks about the display but there is not much detail. It says "Display Brightness and automatic change of the displayed screen can be configured" but there are no screen shots. The rest of section 9..1 talks about setting the display to invert the pixels automatically half the time so the pixel brightness reduces evenly over time. It does not say how often it flips the pixels. Sorry I can't be more help. Not having a High Flow Next and not being able to look at the menus for it in AQS makes it hard to troubleshoot. Hopefully someone that has one will chime in. Good luck!
