Solved Screen does not go to Sleep (Black blank screen)
-
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 MonitorI 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?

Hi, use mode 1 and read this topic in
EXT-Screen don’t turn off my screen
section -
Tested with last kernel v6.1 x86 and aarch64
And tested with last 5.15.x x86 kernel tooworks with Pi4 1go, 2go, 4go and 8go, pi 3b+
-
I already use mode 1 but it still does not work
-
the pir capture test works but the EXT screen module does not display coundown but only --:-- when i enable it in config
it’s not related to
boot/config.txt
orEXT-Screen
config so
EXT-Screen
is now coded like a plugin ofGateway
and not an usualMMM
module
So you can’t use it withoutGateway

It worked! Thank you so much. Last time I tested change of drives I didn’t make restart - newbie in Linux
thank you so much for help!
BTW for awesome work on all.modukes - is there way for donate?
-
so I have to install the gateway to get everything working again ?
-
You always need a gateway If I am right according to wiki
-
And Gateway need Google assistant to works
-
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 forumSorry about that but there it’s only for MMM-GooglaAssistant suite
