@eurtnl 2300w is 20 amps! . doubt the monitor takes more than 5. (600w).
so, I don’t think that is that problem.
if the time between off and back on is short enough there is probably some residual charge left over in the monitor power supply.
after a number of minutes/hours this dissipates.
none of my current monitors will turn on by their power cord . all require button push.
I used to have an.old 17 monitor that I could power on with an external power switch. almost 10 years ago now

@sdetweil When my monitor is turned on and I disconnect it from the power supply and then connect it back with power it’s powered on. So the monitor stays in powered on mode even when disconnected from power supply. So I figured this should work. Strange thing is that sometimes it works okay.
I could add a switch to manually power the monitor but the idea was to do it all on motion detection. -
@eurtnl I know what u want.
I have a tv that cannot turn back on via power.
so I hide all the modules instead. sorta my hall nightlite.but, it has another quirk. because there is no change in the HDMI signal, after 15 minutes it powers off anyhow!!!
so I changed my sleepwake module to wakeup ever 14 minutes 58 seconds for 2 seconds, show all the content, and go back to sleep(hiding all the modules again). tv is happy and 99.9% of the time I am not watching the monitor when it happens… sleeping, out of the house, watching TV… whatever… so it’s not an issue
-
@sdetweil Okay but in that case the TV/Monitor is always powered on isn’t it? My mirror is in the bathroom and I only use the bathroom in the morning when I wake up and in the evening when I go to bed.
I have face-recognition installed so maybe that could wake the monitor when it’s a sleep. Not the best solution in my case. Maybe I need to get another wireless control outlet. I have some Hue stuff that I could try.

@eurtnl yes, on all time time.
good luck…
