The original description quoted below by Pete Glass, this is my edit to his auto brightness script, the main change is that it checks more often for light levels and if the screen is on it will adjust without waiting. Currently I have the time set to 3 seconds and I think that's the most responsive it should be, 5 and 10 seconds would work just fine as well and save on battery life. Also the offset works just like the original and I'm very happy with it. So credit to Pete Glass, I just changed it a little bit and felt like if anyone wanted it they can use it.
Formula version. When the screen turns on/off the flow adjusts the screen brightness automatically according to the amount of ambient light. This version primarily calculates the brightness using formulas which decreases the number of blocks in the flow. To customize the screen brightness calculated by the flow, change the offset var block (the second object in the flow) from 0 to a negative number (like -1) to make the screen dimmer than calculated, and to make the screen brighter than calculated set the offset var to a positive number (like 1 or 2). This flow is fast and not very battery intense like some other screen brightness flows because it uses expressions instead of multiple ambient light check objects. Flow can be used with a widget if desired. Custom icons for automate widgets are available at www.iconspedia.com assuming you are using an automate flow beginnings shortcut style widget and have a custom android launcher like GoLauncher or an app like Icon Changer from the app store that allows you to change shortcut icons.
Check out my "night screen" flow that can be used in combination with this one for making the screen even dimmer in very dark environments.
