Automated keyboard and numpad backlight control with ambient light sensor

Framework Laptop 16

framework already has a published GUI interface for controlling the backlight of the number pad and keyboard together. How can I use that to change the backlight of both the modules based on the ambient light sensor?

I have seen that the keyboard backlight of MacBooks automatically turn on in a dark or poorly lit room I would like to have that same for my framework 16.

I have zero experience with QMK and wanted to learn more about.

My OS currently is Windows 10 Pro.

This would be very nice. I have no idea about how to access the light sensor from the OS, but if you manage to read the values it could definetly be done…

A quick search got me this from Reddit. Maybe useful!
