Screen saver

[JayGatsby7]

I run mopidy and iris 24x7 - is there any way to turn off the screen when it is not in active use?

Or dim the screen somehow?

Yeah I also vote for dimming. Does this hardware allows to turn off the backlight? Thanks in advance!

This might be worth a try.

# Open backlight control 'file' for writing
f = open('/sys/class/backlight/rpi_backlight/brightness', 'w')

This should be possible - on the Pirate Audio board LCDs at least - as of https://github.com/pimoroni/mopidy-pidi/pull/17
