    The simplest way to do this is to use a presence sensor that lights up lamps, and connect the sensor to the monitor’s power.
    When someone approaches it turns on, and turns off the monitor when no one is around.
    It can be done in other ways, but it will be much more complex.

      Not sure I understand you here.
      Could you please describe the thing with “connect the sensor to the monitor’s power”? You mean to connect the monitor to a remote witch like a zigbee or z-wave (or wifi) and power on/off that switch? So basic cut the power to the monitor?

        Yes, that’s what I imagined.
        To be as simple as possible.

        Sorry for my english, I’m using a translator.

          OK, I had that in mind, my problem is, when my monitor turnes on, it start some kind of splash screen that is pink/purple with Benq logo before it’s totally tuned on, I find that so annoying to see. That’s the reason I’m not going that path :)

            Another solution is to create a script to run the command “xset dpms force off” to turn off the monitor and “xset dpms force on” to turn it on.
            Use this video as an example to create something similar.

                  @sdetweil because I’m kind ;)

                  I purpose to try this

                  Work with rpi 3a -> rpi 4
                  (not tested with rpi < 3a)
                  tested OS : Buster and Bulleyes

                  My actual config is:
                  ce5e8b4f-7673-489e-8d5c-876dec5e6954-image.png

                  My actual modules and plugins are:
                  8037b242-a4ae-43b2-8c2e-89c7af1de8de-image.png

                  And works since 116 days on Bulleyes with an RPI 4 ;)

                      how does your config.js file look like for that module?
                      Would you be kind and show it?
