Above is my semi-working automation. It only turns off the monitors…
I would like the LCDs to turn on/off when I run publish switch/lcds on or publish switch/lcds off from my tasmota.
What am I missing?
Thank you.

I managed to get it to work, but:
- Is there a way to make it case-insensitive?
ON and on both will work etc?
- Or shorten/simplify it? It looks like too much code for something this simple, i.e. not readable
