The feature

Would it be possible to add a button that toggles the LCD on and off? I remember being able it to do in the past with a RAPI command but no longer works

Additional information

No response

There's no API function to disable a LCD.

Not disable it, but turn off the backlight I meant.

404 may solve your request, I'm not sure.

backlight should turn off itself when idle btw.

You should ask on openevse_esp32 git as feature request to expose backlights control over http api. Nows RAPI access has been removed, there's probably few features left to expose over api.

I think it would if the brightness can be set to 0 and switches off the backlight?

I'm not sure, but I've made it a dim-able light in Home Assistant, the feature will be in the next beta to try out.
