        I am sorry to hear about your issues. Trying to think of the best way to troubleshoot that. The module doesn’t do anything fancy. It just executes these in the node_helper to switch on/of the output on HDMI:

        Switch off:

        /opt/vc/bin/tvservice -o

        Switch-on:

        /opt/vc/bin/tvservice --preferred && sudo chvt 6 && sudo chvt 7

        As a first step, could you please try to execute these commands in the ssh terminal?

            Ok, the next step let’s check whether the off state is detected correctly. After you switched off the monitor with the first command try to execute this in the ssh term:

            /opt/vc/bin/tvservice -s

            and let me know which output you see.

              output is:
              state 0x120002 [TV is off]

                @trividar @cowboysdude paviro is also using the same code lines in his pir sensor module and a user had similar issues, maybe his solution also work for you

                      @trividar I thought the commands are working for you, as you pointed out 2 hours ago? I was struggling with this myself for a seperate module, it didn’t work in the terminal i had to login at tty6 or with the solution I posted I got weird colors and a zoom effect on my screen, but in the node_helper it worked at least for me.
