So I’ve been looking through the net and have found I can use vcgencmd display_power 0 to turn off my monitor and the same again to power 1 to turn it back on, it also explains it can be run as a cron job but I’ve never done one of them so not to sure.
Would it all be possible to hook up a push button switch to the gpio and have them commands somehow turn the display off and on.
Thanks

RE: What are all the warnings when installing mm2
Thanks you for responding so quickly.
And also thanks for clearing all that up for me, it makes more sense now lol.
As it is working I shall just leave it as it then, I just wanted to double check if I should of been doing anything about these warnings.
