qtwebkit-kiosk/server: turn display off/on

jpkorhonen commented 13 years ago

Configurations by organisation (config/organisation.yml)

Days of the week (display is on)
Start time (turn display on)
End time (turn display off)

The server transmits the settings to the client in the same api as, for example, the slides data.

qtwebkit-kiosk software turns the display on or off with the following shell command:

#!/bin/sh
# turn info-tv display off
export DISPLAY=:0.0
xset dpms force standby

#!/bin/sh
# turn info-tv display on
export DISPLAY=:0.0
xset s reset
xset s 0 0
xset s off
xset s noblank
xset dpms 0 0 0
xset -dpms
xset dpms force on

Python backend can receive signals from JavaScript. See commit 4dcbdbc4b7863f07dc70efb6ba706b13a2433f52.

Signals can be triggered through window.displayCtrl object (written in CoffeeScript).

Implementing powerup and -down signals requires some work with the JSON structure.
