NSPanel: prevent from/put to sleep from HA automation

[ESP4Ever]

Hi!

I'm looking for a possibility to disable/enable a NSPanel sleep mode via HA automation, preferably w/o flash wearing.
The idea is to use a presence sensor to wake-up the panel (done) and prevent it from going to sleep until the presence state changes to "away". Due to fact that HA presence entities report "home/away" instead of "on/off", the NSPanel wake-up sensor list is empty so I'm using the automation with a service call as a workaround but I didn't found a way to put the panel back to sleep again.

Call the service send_command with the command page="screensaver".

I tried to use this command but it changes nothing((( The panel stays on "home" page

Update: the correct cmd spelling is cmd: page screensaver but switching to this page doesn't put NSP to sleep and the display brightness keep till defined timeout

Hi Edward,

Thank you for your prompt answer!
Is it possible to disable a screensaver temporary without saving to ESP32 flash?

[edwardtfn]

Yes, just set the sleep timeout to 0.

[edwardtfn]

Ah, that will save...

Unfortunately we don't have any way to temporarily disabling the screen saver. Or at least nothing comes to my mind now.

Ok, thank you! Will play with a timeout time then)))
