How do you turn Off/On the monitor if not in use - Be Green

[mpires]

@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 :)

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

[wizz]

@cyberphox that is what I was looking for and want to do with my mirror.

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