    I use the same times but instead of changing the display power I use the built in tvservice app

    0 23 * * * /opt/vc/bin/tvservice -o
    0 6 * * * /opt/vc/bin/tvservice -p

      I’m with cowboysdude,

      MMM-ModuleScheduler combined with MMM-Remote-Control.

      Scheduler sends MonitorOn and Off’s to Remote.

      Works like a dream!

        I used a similar method to schedule a cron job to control a transistor placed over the push button of my tv. This lets me power the TV on and off instead of using the HDMI CEC method used for computer monitors.

            @shockwave said in How do you switch on / off, wake up yours?:

            I just use a cron job to put the screen to sleep at 11pm and turn it back on at 7am. My schedule is routine enough that this works well for me.

            crontab -e

            00 23 * * * /home/pi/monitor-off.sh >/dev/null # JOB_ID_1
            0 7 * * * /home/pi/monitor-on.sh >/dev/null # JOB_ID_2
            

            monitor-off.sh

            #!/bin/bash
            
            vcgencmd display_power 0
            
            # export DISPLAY=:0.0
            # xset dpms force off
            

            monitor-on.sh

            #!/bin/bash
            
            vcgencmd display_power 1
            
            # export DISPLAY=:0
            # xset dpms force on
            # xset s reset
            

            Great !
            I will give it a try
