    @sean So you’re saying there might be a setting that allows for the DPMS being turned on and off, right?

        @sean Hey again Sean,

        So here’s the output of xset -q:

        I noticed the following: Server does not have the DPMS Extension :expressionless_face: Figured that’s why it’s not working. So I’m not sure about this whole DPMS thing. Is it an extension I can install or is it something native to a computer, e.g. hardware?

          @mdhenriksen said in Turn monitor on/off with MMM-voice:

          I’m not expert of this kind, so I might be wrong.

          As I know, in nowadays modern linux machine, DPMS is auto detected and enabled if ACPI is also enabled at kernel runtime. However check /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ in the Monitor section (Or corresponding alternatives on your environment. Again, I’m not familiar with *nix machines :D )

          Option "DPMS" "true"

            @sean Yeah, I’m trying to look into that right now, but without much luck at the moment :D

              SOLVED

              This is not really a solution, but my error was that I was logged in on “Ubuntu on Wayland” which doesn’t have DPMS.

              On the login screen of Ubuntu you can click the little gear-icon and choose what kind of Ubuntu you want to login to. Wayland is a bit restricted, so just go with “Ubuntu” and not “Ubuntu on Wayland”
