I am trying to set a button on the dashboard to turn off the HA diaplay (touch monitor) running on a raspberry pi 5. This is not the HA server. This setup is not turning off the monitor. Any ideas on where to look for what is failing, alternate formats to try ?
configuraiton.yaml-------
command_line:
- switch:
name: Screen Blank
command_off: 'export DISPLAY=:0 && xset dpms force off'
Button Card--------
show_name: true
show_icon: true
type: button
entity: switch.screen_blank
tap_action:
action: perform-action
perform_action: switch.turn_off
target:
entity_id: switch.screen_blank
crontab format on raspberry pi-------
This crontab format works on the raspberry pi to turn off the display at night and on in the morning
export DISPLAY=:0; xset +dpms; xset s blank; xset s off; xset dpms force on
export DISPLAY=:0;xset s noblank; xset s off; xset -dpms
I also tried this format in the confirguration.yaml to match the crontab format that is working but no getting the screen to blank from the button
‘DISPLAY=:0 && xset s noblank && xset s off && xset -dpms’
