      Hello,
      at the start I want to thak you for all the modules that you created! I am finishing my mirror now and I got problem with Ext-Screen.
      My monitor is connected through HDMI cable.
      I set module correctly (I hope) and after time interval screen go blanc but it will remain turned on. I tried every single mode and the result is the same. I also tried to change driver with no luck.
      Here is my config for mode 2:

      {
      		  module: 'EXT-Screen',
      		  position: "bottom_right",
      		  config: {
      		    debug: false,
      		    animateBody: true,
      		    delay: 1 * 60 * 1000,
      		    turnOffDisplay: true,
      		    mode: 2,
      		    ecoMode: true,
      		    displayCounter: true,
      		    displayBar: true,
      		    displayStyle: "SemiCircle",
      		    displayLastPresence: true,
      		    lastPresenceTimeFormat: "LL H:mm",
      		    detectorSleeping: false,
      		    autoHide: true,
      		    delayed: 0,
      		    gpio: 20,
      		    clearGpioValue: true,
      		    sound: false
      		  }
      		},
      

      Result:
      [04.04.2023 20:57.56.172] [ERROR] [SCREEN] Error: Command failed: DISPLAY=:0 xset q | grep Monitor

      I also tried mode 1 with no errors in output.

      Thank you for help 🙂

        I have the same problem as the previous speaker I use mode 1 and get no error

        the problem is since the latest kernel update about 1 week ago

        i changed the boot/config from kms to fkms so that vcgencmd works again without this change the command does not work ( vcgencmd display_power = 0 or 1)

        the pir capture test works but the EXT screen module does not display coundown but only --:-- when i enable it in config

        so the countdown is not started so the module does not turn off the hdmi port

        if i enter the command vcgencmd display_power = 0 in the terminal it works without problems but it doesn’t work through the module

          I tried this with no change - still don’t work. May VNC or some other setting prevent screen from sleep?

                  it’s not related to boot/config.txt or EXT-Screen config so
                  EXT-Screen is now coded like a plugin of Gateway and not an usual MMM module
                  So you can’t use it without Gateway (and MMM-GoogleAssistant)

                        You always need a gateway If I am right according to wiki

                            Okay then I have to find something else to switch the magic mirror.

                            Or can you make a pir version that does not need extra

                              I stop doing any MMM modules sorry.
                              Maybe for you is using another module. See the 3rd party and official MagicMirror forum

                              Sorry about that but there it’s only for MMM-GooglaAssistant suite
