Open Prayer room screen, go to Around prayer, and turn on Dark during prayer. The screen turns black at each iqama and comes back after the length you set. It works offline, because the screen works it out from its own clock.
Length per prayer
Set 1 to 120 minutes. These are starting values, not advice:
| Prayer | Unless you change it |
|---|---|
| Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Isha | 10 minutes |
| Maghrib | 8 minutes |
| Friday prayer | 40 minutes |
When it starts and ends
- Starts at the iqama, or at each Friday time on a Friday.
- Ends after your length, and always by the next adhan or Friday time.
- A prayer with no iqama has no dark time. If nothing happens, check its iqama.
- All your screens go dark together. If one is off, check that device's clock.
What you see
Only black: no times, text or notices. An adhan recording stops at the iqama. In the dashboard, choose During prayer in the preview to see it.
With the setting off, the screen shows the prayer as in progress for 10 minutes, or 30 on a Friday.
What it doesn't do
- It doesn't turn the TV off. A TV showing black still gives some light.
- It doesn't know when you finish. A long recitation can outlast your setting, so set a little longer.
- It is not a ruling. Questions about screens in the prayer room are for your scholars.
