It would be great to have the ability to adjust the brightness or set a specific level through the terminal using the same program.

Describe the solution you'd like

Since in some situations I want to adjust the brightness using Automator, adding it as one of the steps, and since there is already this program and I can’t just change the brightness with one command through bash, I need to install an additional CLI utility, which means I will have two utilities for adjusting brightness on my computer!

It would be great to enter moncontrol -set 100 or moncontrol -set 50 in the terminal, and maybe even moncontrol Up/Down.

One of my use cases is that through Automator, I can switch between dark and light themes with a hotkey, as well as enable energy-saving mode, and I would like to add fixed brightness adjustment to this scenario using your program. Thank you.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Unfortunatelly I don't have another ideas
