@cato Might it be centrally controlled per station? They probably already have some kind of sensor to turn the platform lights on and off, and maybe they don't want the information displays next to each other at different brightnesses

@mart_w Unlikely, I haven't found any brightness control in the protocol docs or while having a look at the decompiled protocol handler

@cato Doesn't have to be in software. The display did change its brightness when you pulled the mystery pin to ground, didn't it?

@cato Nevermind, that was on the bare LED panel, wasn't it
