I just have to say that this post where Sam points out that:

"all the pir modules do the same thing

the node_helper.js issues a command to turn off the display and another to turn it back on"

I had been looking for some guideposts for a long time in this area, and your post made it clear what was needed, and I was able to do it. Your comments made a huge difference, even two years later.
Using your technique I was able to fix the monitor on and standby commands in the Remote Control and Pir modules.
Thanks!
