Here is the configuration:

                {
                module: 'MMM-ModuleScheduler',
                config: {
                notification_schedule: [
                                // TURN THE MONITOR/SCREEN OFF AT 8:30 EVERY WEEK DAY
                                {notification: 'REMOTE_ACTION', schedule: '30 8 * * MON-FRI', payload: {action: "SHUTDOWN"}},
                                // TURN THE MONITOR/SCREEN OFF AT 23:30 EVERY DAY
                                {notification: 'REMOTE_ACTION', schedule: '30 23 * * *', payload: {action: "SHUTDOWN"}},
                            ]
                         }
                },

The clock timer is programmed to kill the power supply 15 min later than the shutdown time(s).

@Steff ty Steff, i did order today my PIR.

I got an solution that i like and hope will work good for me.
I am waiting for my Alexa Dot to arrive and when it dose i will use this to shut down the power to the monitor with the implementation for my Vera edge and a wall plug just telling the Alexa to shut down the monitor and also by command start up the monitor i rely hope that works as for the RPI i let it to be powered on like @broberg mentioned.

So just waiting for the Alexa to drop down in the mail :)

@wizz , I have already done this using an Echo Dot & 5V 4-Channel Wifi Relay module for Arduino LinkNode R4 with couple of coding i made a voice activated power extension plug :) it’s working fine for me !

@zam Do you want to explain the setup and the coding pleas?
