Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Hi, was wondering if anyone knows or created a method to blank screen at night and re-awake at morning and can share with the community?

Describe the solution you'd like an option to blank screen at night and re-awake at morning Describe alternatives you've considered tried using xset but that complains since i don't have a X session in place

That's outside the scope of this project, but it should be pretty simple to do as a cron job (not integrated with this system per-se).

This is very simple (though beyond this scope of project). I'm using the following setup.

Mind you i'm using this on a pi3. Whenever my homeautomations detect that no one is home i'll let it automatically SSh into the pi and execute the following line: vcgencmd display_power 0 that disables the HDMI output and let's the screen go into sleep mode. Then do a vcgencmd display_power 1 when person detection detects someone home again.

This works flawlessly every time and does not reaload the streams as it just disables the HDMI output and re enables it.
