      You need to acces the monitor’s menu
      I think I read you dont have a remote?
      You need to access the energy saving menu

          wait, the code comes back with errors?

          do us a favor.

          DISABLE the pir-sensor module for this test.

          SSH into the mirror when you’re gonna be away for a couple hours.

          type: vcgencmd display_power 0 - Monitor should shut off.

          Go do whatever for a while. Come back,

          SSH back into the mirror, and type vcgencmd display_power 1 Monitor should power on.

          If the monitor doesn’t power back up, there’s a good chance the monitor isn’t good for your use. If it does, then we need to look at how it’s interfacing with the PIR Sensor module.

              @sdetweil True - however these commands do work the same as they did before. (Assuming you’re using the HDMI 0 plug closest to the power supply anyway)
