Hello Lucy: got Sleep

mash55

I am running mm on a pi with HDMI monitor. Hello Lucy is in charge. Config file includes:

standByMethod: "PI"

Telling Lucy to goto sleep gives me a black screen but monitor is not turned off. My goal is that monitor goes to power saving mode which I think can be achieved with a:

tvservice -o

command. This command should be used with the standByMethod=PI option in the config file (according to the github doc) but it seems it is not. Looking at the node_helper.js file in the ‘MMM-voice replacement files’ section it seems that this option is commented out.
Is that an oversight? Or is this function defined somewhere else?
Thanks for any pointers…

@mash55 Yes, Mykle changed it for his setup to use the dpms commands…

you will have to uncomment the lines u need and comment out the exec('xset dpms…) commands just before each

we have an update waiting on some MMM-Voice changes that makes this more configurable…

Dagnabit! Did I change it after I accepted your PR? Honestly, I thought it was a working config option. If I did inadvertently mess that up I will change it back. Please let me know Sam.

@mykle1 it was like that when I forked your repo…
