Originally assigned to: @maziggy on GitHub.

Problem or Use Case

The screen goes blank after based on the configuration, but the LCD backlight is still on.

Proposed Solution

I know this is not perfect as this has a fixed timing, but I replaced in .config/labwc/autostart

(while true; do wlr-randr --output HDMI-A-1 --on 2>/dev/null; sleep 60; done) &

with

swayidle -w \
  timeout 120 'wlopm --off HDMI-A-1' \
  resume 'wlopm --on HDMI-A-1' &

(needs sudo apt install swayidle wlopm)
