How do you switch on / off, wake up yours?

@arbeyukay I combined the Magic mirror with this feature and have a USB cam to detect any motion in front of mirror, if no motion the monitor is shut down. Works just fine!

I personally use remote control to turn my display on. I also am thinking of using motion detection, but I probably need help. https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/52/pir-sensor-put-your-mirror-to-sleep-if-not-used/30

I use the same times but instead of changing the display power I use the built in tvservice app0 23 * * * /opt/vc/bin/tvservice -o
0 6 * * * /opt/vc/bin/tvservice -p -
I’m with cowboysdude,
MMM-ModuleScheduler combined with MMM-Remote-Control.
Scheduler sends MonitorOn and Off’s to Remote.
Works like a dream!

I used a similar method to schedule a cron job to control a transistor placed over the push button of my tv. This lets me power the TV on and off instead of using the HDMI CEC method used for computer monitors.

I use MMM-ModuleScheduler for my mirror in the bathroom BUT my 32" Control Center I use:

Works like a charm ;)

I just use a cron job to put the screen to sleep at 11pm and turn it back on at 7am. My schedule is routine enough that this works well for me.
crontab -e
00 23 * * * /home/pi/monitor-off.sh >/dev/null # JOB_ID_1 0 7 * * * /home/pi/monitor-on.sh >/dev/null # JOB_ID_2
#!/bin/bash vcgencmd display_power 0 # export DISPLAY=:0.0 # xset dpms force off
#!/bin/bash vcgencmd display_power 1 # export DISPLAY=:0 # xset dpms force on # xset s reset
Great !
I will give it a try
