Feature Request: Display/Monitor sleep timer #11

Open kombuking opened 1 week ago

kombuking commented 1 week ago

Addition of a sleep timer for the display in the Settings menu.

Sleep options would consist of following fields to be specified by the user:

Sleep mode (On/Off)

If Sleep mode is "On":

Sleep start time (E.g. 11:00pm)
Sleep start message (E.g. "Goodnight!")
Sleep end/Wake up time (E.g. 5:00am)
Sleep end/Wake up message (E.g. "Good Morning!")

I love this idea, and it's something I've been experimenting with.

The screen can pretty easily be controlled from Elixir with the following code:

# Turn off the screen
System.cmd("vcgencmd", ["display_power", "0"])

# Turn on the screen
System.cmd("vcgencmd", ["display_power", "1"])

These commands could be run on a configurable schedule managed by a GenServer.
