    @Newbie007 said in Monitor goes to sleep within minutes:

    xset s noblank
    xset s off
    xset -dpms

    you can issue those commands manually
    or you have to reboot to disable screensaver

          @Newbie007 ok, so mouse is shown… and moves… this is not screen saver…

          so, it appears MM is showing black screen

          you need a keyboard to be able to get to the debug info

            I actually doubt that cause before going to sleep my monitor shows the default “HDMI” text which is usually shown before boot as well

                  @Newbie007 PIR-Sensor… is that module still in config.js?

                  you can disable it by adding

                    disabled: true,
                  

                  to that module config, after the module: statement

                  note that PIR has some dependencies, which can cause black screen…

                    Damn! You are right.

                    I commented whole PIR-Sensor in config.js but I followed this method as well and forgot about it.

                    Currently I have unplugged my PIR, let me plug it again and report back to you.

                    But in mean time how can I disable this?
