Auto power on and off

@hamid you can use a standard webcam (like the pi cam or a playstation camera like I do) and my module https://github.com/rejas/MMM-MotionDetector to detect motion and turn your monitor off and on.

@bkeyport said in Auto power on and off:
If you wanna go down that path, there’s MMM-Remote-Control, too.
I was looking at the option of turning off the monitor instead the rpi.
I have the MMM-Remote-Control installed, but i dont see a way to turn off the monitor automatically, there’s an option to turn on and off the monitor and it works well, but how do i automate it? -
@socrates I use a webcam and turn off the monitor, motion turns it back on.
some use IR (PIR) sensors to detect people heat and turn on… -
@sdetweil Thank you. I have Home Assistant in place, the only gripe is that I wont have enough space between the mm frame and the outlet to shove another smart outlet. I guess i will need to replace the single gang smart outlet.
