      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.

                    Works like a charm ;)

                      @shockwave said in How do you switch on / off, wake up yours?:

                      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
                      

                      Great !
                      I will give it a try
