Feature Request - Turn Off Screen

[benjamin-rousseau-shift]

Hi there. Thanks for this SDK ! Is there a way to turn off the screen with it , like you can do in 'Energy Saving' Menu where you can just turn the screen black by clicking on 'Screen Off'

Side Request : Do you think it's possible to return the Name you set to the TV ? The 'Device Name' The System Info do not return that.

Thanks !

I came here just to write this feature request. Is it possible? Maybe with some indirect script that would manually press correct buttons?

It's definitely possible given that klattimer supports it:

def screenOff(self):
        self.__send_command("request", "ssap://com.webos.service.tvpower/power/turnOffScreen", {"standbyMode": "active"})
def screenOn(self):
        self.__send_command("request", "ssap://com.webos.service.tvpower/power/turnOnScreen", {"standbyMode": "active"})

Hi @jurekmroczkowski, Thank you so much!

I have just created a new PR #68 with the change. Can you folks please test it out?

Checking in to see if anyone wants to test the patch out before I merge it with master. Cheers

Tested it manually, works perfectly fine.
