Putting the Screen to Sleep while Away (No CEC or PIR)

[strawberry 3.141]

@Twenty nice that you combined those modules, but i doubt that you save a lot of energy with that, as the monitor is still running.

I would suggest you use remote control instead of mm-pir-hide-all, which is using tvservice to cut the hdmi output. This will bring most of the monitors to standby, so you can really save energy.

{
  module: 'MMM-NetworkScanner',
  position: 'top_left', 
  config: {
    devices: [
      { ipAddress: "github.com", name: "Github", icon: "globe"},
      { macAddress: "1a:1b:1c:1a:1b:1c", name: "Server", icon: "server"},
      { macAddress: "2a:2b:2c:2a:2b:2c", name: "Desktop", icon: "desktop"},
      { ipAddress: "10.1.1.10", name: "Laptop", icon: "laptop"},
      { macAddress: "4a:4b:4c:4a:4b:4c", name: "Mobile", icon: "mobile"},
    ],
    showUnknown: false,
    showOffline: true,
    keepAlive: 300,
    updateInterval: 5,
    residents: "Mobile",
    occupiedCMD: {notification: "REMOTE_ACTION", payload: {action: 'MONITORON'}},
    vacantCMD: {notification: "REMOTE_ACTION", payload: {action: 'MONITOROFF'}},
  }        
},

But then the monitor doesn’t turn itself back on when I get home. So that doesn’t really help.

couldn’t u combine that with the normal MMM-PIR sensor and using the relay option?

connecting like here at Point 5

Good read! Those solutions still requires a button and/or a relay. My idea is just a minimalist approach to blanking the screen, perhaps if you have personal info on your calendar display. And you never have to think about it again, entirely automated.

the the main thing is you are satisfied

:)

great solution anyhow
