    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 :)

                  Mirror is plugged into a Z-wave outlet. I just tell my echo - Hey Alexa - turn on/off my mirror

                      I have a Vera controller for Zwave devices and they just released a new firmware that adds Alex support pretty easy!
