      @Sam-0 Can you run the following from the command line and she your results:
      wlr-randr
      ls -als /run/user/1000/wayland*

      Share your results. Either the wayland-1 is different as indicated by @evroom or HDMI-A-1 is actually a different version on your system.

      Share the results from the above and we take it from there. Also, @evroom has indicated the there is supposed to be a space before /home on the crontab.

          So as stated before you most probably need to change wayland-1 to wayland-0 in your scripts.
          Give it a try.
          Furthermore the .lock file may cause a problem, but I guess this will show in your error log.
          And temporarily change the times in your cronjob to speed things up a bit.
          Waiting till ten and midnight is not really necessary :-)

            @evroom *.lock should not cause an issue. I have same on my system and no issues with it. I agree with the wayland-1 change to wayland-0.

              should it be modified in this way?

              output HDMI-A-1 --on
              Into
              output HDMI-A-0 --on

                No, like this:

                export WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-0

                In both scripts.

                        You only had to change the 1 into a 0.
                        Not to move the lines around, especially not the ones with export.

                        #!/bin/bash
                        export WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-0
                        export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1000
                        wir-randr --output HDMI-A-1 --on
                        

                        But you are slowly getting there :-)
