Auto on/off of the TV (not the Pi)?

I had already found the link you referenced and in trying to go through it the instructions falter. I’m following the setup listed towards the bottom of this site but when I get down to sudo git clone https://github.com/Pulse-Eight/libcec.git I’m prompted to login to get hub but then just get “remote: repository not found.” Any ideas or advice?

What are you logging in as? The 'sudo' command is local to you (your rpi), so that password is your regular user’s password (possibly the 'pi' user, in which case you should not need it as it’s already configured to be allowed to run 'sudo'.) I can run it just fine and it clones that repository as expected.

I use a simple command in my crontab:
0 23 * * * vcgencmd display_power 0
0 6 * * * vcgencmd display_power 1

This turns the monitor off at 11pm and back on at 6am.

I’ve configured the monitor off with display_power 0, but the next morning my raspberry pi is also shutdown… Any tips?

Just power your rpi on?
If you want to power on your rpi schedully, you should use poweroutlet with timer function or something like smartoutlet.
If your problem is unintentional RPI’s poweroff, this could be another issue.

Yeah my project stopped just because of this same reason…
Prob is, that I’ve made MM on my rpi 3 and bought sonoff relays for turning on and off my tv, but the prob is, that when I power my tv it doesn’t start. It just gets its power and I need to use my remote for it. Now… if I would have some sort of remote app of some sort with wich I could control my tv, then this could be the answer (maybe some android remote or something)…
