<![CDATA[Turn on/off display remotely via ssh]]>Hi all,
Apologies if this isn’t the right forum for this.

Looking to have a magic mirror triggered via other inputs with my home automation system Indigo.

Ideally I’d like to be able to remotely turn on/off the display through a script. Is there a simple way I can do that?

Thanks
Noel

I ended up installing MMM remote. And created a switch for on and off parsing theese urls. Maybe that would work for you as well?

command_on: "/usr/bin/curl -X GET http://192.168.0.77:8090/remote?action=MONITORON"
command_off: "/usr/bin/curl -X GET http://192.168.0.77:8090/remote?action=MONITOROFF"

The display does not go into low power mode but this may be what you are looking for…

xset -display :0 dpms force off

You may have to install xset.
I have triggers through HomeAssistant (home automation).
