    I’m using a motion cam behind the mirror with mmal motion software running outside the mm2 as a surveillance cam!
    If there is a motion in the front of the mirror the cam turns the mm2 panel on.
    After some time without motion the sw will deactivate the panel.

      I just use a cron job to put the screen to sleep at 11pm and turn it back on at 7am. My schedule is routine enough that this works well for me.

      crontab -e

      00 23 * * * /home/pi/monitor-off.sh >/dev/null # JOB_ID_1
      0 7 * * * /home/pi/monitor-on.sh >/dev/null # JOB_ID_2
      

      monitor-off.sh

      #!/bin/bash
      
      vcgencmd display_power 0
      
      # export DISPLAY=:0.0
      # xset dpms force off
      

      monitor-on.sh

      #!/bin/bash
      
      vcgencmd display_power 1
      
      # export DISPLAY=:0
      # xset dpms force on
      # xset s reset

          yea, all ways on.
          If the cam recognize some motion in the front, the monitor is starting.

          After a chosen delay time the monitor is switched off.

            @arbeyukay I combined the Magic mirror with this feature and have a USB cam to detect any motion in front of mirror, if no motion the monitor is shut down. Works just fine!

                I personally use remote control to turn my display on. I also am thinking of using motion detection, but I probably need help. https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/52/pir-sensor-put-your-mirror-to-sleep-if-not-used/30

                  I use the same times but instead of changing the display power I use the built in tvservice app

                  0 23 * * * /opt/vc/bin/tvservice -o
                  0 6 * * * /opt/vc/bin/tvservice -p

                    I’m with cowboysdude,

                    MMM-ModuleScheduler combined with MMM-Remote-Control.

                    Scheduler sends MonitorOn and Off’s to Remote.

                    Works like a dream!

                      I used a similar method to schedule a cron job to control a transistor placed over the push button of my tv. This lets me power the TV on and off instead of using the HDMI CEC method used for computer monitors.
