      Hi,

      I am currently using Rpi4 for my magicMirror and using EXT-Screen for shutting off screen with vcgencmd. However, nothing happens when the timer expires (set to 30s for testing). The screen stays ON.

      I have tried to use the vcgencmd command in the terminal as well. I type this command: vcgencmd display_power 0 2 and I get a reply: display_power=-1. But the screen is still on. I would really appreciate if someone can explain how to turn off HDMI display to me.

      Thanks

      Console output from MagicMirror:

      magicmirror@2.20.0 start
      DISPLAY=“${DISPLAY:=:0}” ./node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js

        @Nik92 Hi. I recently bought a Rpi4 and have the same problem. Are you using the included hdmi cable? I suspect that it does not support this function. I will buy a better one to test it. I think this is the problem but not sure. I will check it and update the post.

          Hi @Anthony, yes I use the included cable. Let me know how it goes with your test.
          Hi @bugsounet, do you have some suggestion for this issue?

          Thanks

            @Nik92 Yes I will let you know. But this is not the right place to post your issue. This is an EXT-Screen’s issue so you should post it there. That’s probably why bugsounet does not reply to you. Sorry but here is his place and we all should follow his rules.
