<![CDATA[Turn Monitor Completely Black after Inactivity]]>Hello everyone! I’m using the EXT-Screen and EXT-ScreenTouch modules by bugsounet, but when the mirror goes to sleep, the blue light from the monitor is still on. Is it possible to turn the monitor completely black after inactivity? If anyone could help it’d be very appreciated!

IF the monitor turns back on when there is power on the cord… none of mine do… all require touching a button on the monitor

Are there any alternatives?

some monitors support CEC which would allow software to turn it off and back on. ext-screen supports CEC.
