{HowTo} turn on/off your monitor (Time based, PIR/Button, App)

@sdetweil So in your opinion my idea Home-Presence+RemoteControl+Scheduler could work?
Or should I have to throw it in the wastebin? :)

@nowayto i do not know if THAT combination works…

but given a notification, SOME collection should work.
maybe your notification should be USER_PRESENCE (true/false)

other modules respond to that

Yes, I knew how CEC work, but in my case I have an LCD controller and I have check his behaviour.

Lucky me, when video signal is off, the controller stay in standby with a completely black screen.
This will be perfect, but only if the RemoteControl command will stop or cut-off the video signal, instead of sending a CEC turning off signal.
That was my doubt

@nowayto use the wrandr/xrandr command to turn off the hdmi port
w = wayland
x = x11

depending on the display manager

I do not know how Remote-Control is configured/configurable for monitor off
