      This script takes an on or off parameter that the Smart Home skill/action sends, so you can say things like this:

      Alexa, turn off display
      Alexa, turn on display
      Hey Google, turn off display
      Hey Google, turn on display

      Don't forget to enable parameters, and to make the script executable with chmod +x display.sh

      If you put the script in your home folder, you can run it with this command: ~/display.sh

      #!/bin/bash
      if [ "$1" == "off" ]
      then
        echo turn display $1 >> /tmp/display_on_off.log
        pmset displaysleepnow
      else
        echo turn computer $1 >> /tmp/display_on_off.log
        caffeinate -u -t 1
      fi
