Control monitor buttons from windows?

Iv got a monitor mounted into a cabinet where i cant get access to its front panel buttons. Is there a way to access the monitor controls through software so i can adjust contrast brightness backlight etc?

Monitor is a iiyama PLE481S-S0S connected via dvi to dvi.

I used this to change the input from HDMI to DP without reaching around and use the OSD.

Also does brightness/contrast so might be what you are looking for

Make sure 'DDC/CI' is enabled on the monitor if it has the option.

On the monitor presumably, so you'll have to get access to the front panel (or equivalent buttons) to check temporarily.
