Adjust adaptive brightness level

I have a Google Pixel with Android v7.1.1. With AutoTools, I can read the adaptive brightness level (it's screen_brightness_auto_adj). It will range anywhere from 0.0 (slider all the way to the left) to 100.0 (slider all the way to the right). But if I try doing a custom setting to set it, I get the "Can't change setting on this device. You cannot change private secure settings." I've done the ADB command to grant AutoTools the WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS permission, but still can't get it to work. It would be great to have a way to set this in AutoTools.

for some reason this won't work without root. I've now added it to the AutoTools Root Add-on: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.joaomgcd.autotoolsroot

Hope this helps

Thanks Joao. Unfortunately root won't help me but I do appreciate your response. All of your apps are great addons to Tasker. Hopefully a future Android version will allow this to be adjusted without the need for root.
