How do you switch on / off, wake up yours?

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.

I use MMM-ModuleScheduler for my mirror in the bathroom BUT my 32" Control Center I use:

Works like a charm ;)

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
