I have a second RPI and i would like to be able to turn the HDMI port on/off from HA server RPI.

I’ve got the script to do it local but how do i run it from HA when its not the same RPI?

Use a shell script and just pass the parameters through an SSH command.

ssh [email protected] ‘/home/pi/rpi-hdmi.sh on’
