• Night-Light – preset RGB configuration for night-light mode.
• Power-Off – turn off the display using a simple CLI.

• Run:

  > dist.exe help                 # print help
  > dist.exe off                  # turn off display
  > dist.exe nit                  # toggle night mode
  > dist.exe rst                  # reset color to default
  > dist.exe rgb 85 100 100       # adjust display color within 0-100% range
  > dist.exe brit 55              # adjust display brightness within 0-100% range
  > dist.exe setn 100 55 10       # set night light color within 0-100% range
