      @N6NG Do I modify it where it is or do I copy it into the config.js ? If I modify it where it is and change the sensor pin what would I put in the config.js?

        all you are doing is changing the vcgencmd string

        exec(“…”)

        then everything else is normal in config.js

        pin and commandType (I didn’t look at the module doc)

            @N6NG When I put the
            exec (“/usr/bin/vcgencmd display_power 0”, null);
            in the config.js I get an error. When I run npm run config:check it says that line has an Unexpected token
            “/usr/bin/vcgencmd display_power 0”

              @N6NG be careful copy/paste, the forum without code marker uses the slanted. single and double quotes. used by word processing apps

              JavaScript expects the upright versions

                  @N6NG that doesn’t go on config.js, it goes in the node_helper.js to replace what it already does, if it’s different.
