#### How to install Standbymonitor
- Install SKILL NAME by msm install [https://github.com/gras64/standbymonitor-skill/](https://github.com/gras64/standbymonitor-skill/)
- for cec you need libcec3 and cec-utils
configured in Skill Settings.
- the skill supports the following methods to set:xset dpms force,7 Zoll pi Display,DLP2000,tvservice,vcgencmd,CEC. you can set the time delay and deaktivate automode
#### How to test Standbymonitor
Specify the steps the user should take to test the Skill, such as;
- Configure the Skill Settings in home.mycroft.ai
- “Monitor activate”
- “Monitor deaktivate”
- “Monitor automatic”
the skill turns on your monitor which turns off if there is no voice input for some time.
Unfortunately I haven’t been able to test all of the methods so far because I don’t have the hardware. the skill is written very quickly and depending on the feedback I will perfect the skill.

hello I could someone test my Mark 1 option in my skill. Select mark 1 under home.mycroft in the skill properties. if I did everything correctly, the mark 1 should be very dark and wake up at wakeword. unfortunately I don’t have a mark 1 to test it myself

Hey Andreas,
You can detect known platforms for mycroft through the device configuration. You need to import this specially:
```auto
from mycroft.configuration import Configuration
```
Then in your Skill do something like:
```auto
def initialize(self):
config = Configuration.get()
platform = config.get('enclosure').get('platform')
self.log.info(platform) # will output "mycroft_mark_1"
```
Unfortunately the `mycroft.eyes.*` messages don’t seem to be registering, even when called outside of your Skill (at least on the Mark 1 I’m testing on).

I already thought of that too. I actually wanted to be able to make individual settings. I have now set up an automatic mode by default.
as far as mycroft.eyes is that my mistake or a core problem?

Just had another look, and it seems that the eye Message namespace in the Enclosure differs from the Mark 1 Skill.
So `mycroft.eyes.default` is right but you need to change the other Messages to [those listed here](https://github.com/MycroftAI/mycroft-core/blob/dev/mycroft/client/enclosure/mark1/eyes.py):
```auto
'enclosure.eyes.on'
'enclosure.eyes.off'
'enclosure.eyes.blink'
'enclosure.eyes.narrow'
'enclosure.eyes.look'
'enclosure.eyes.color'
'enclosure.eyes.level'
'enclosure.eyes.volume'
'enclosure.eyes.spin'
'enclosure.eyes.timedspin'
'enclosure.eyes.reset'
'enclosure.eyes.setpixel'
'enclosure.eyes.fill'
```
Should add these to the docs…
_Edit: For future readers, these will be getting extracted from mycroft-core when we get around to it. So if the link is broken they will be in a dedicated Mark 1 Enclosure repo._

In the skills there’s also the `self.enclosure` which is an interface to the Mark-1 enclosure API.
`self.enclosure.eyes_off()`
`self.enclosure.mouth_reset()`
`self.enclosure.eyes_reset()`
