Is it possible to turn on a tablet screen?
I have a Surface setup to never go into deep sleep. With IOTLink I was able to wake the screen with an automation. Is that possible?

There is a command that simulates a keypress that should wake the screen (assuming the device is really not sleeping - including s0ix sleep aka modern sleep)
Thanks I will give this a try! Yes I did the work to ensure it doesn't go into any sleep mode and this was working 100% with IOTLink, I can share the steps if you want to document it.
Jfyi while the keypress should work IOTLink used a mouse move API for the screen on behavior, I can dig for that code if the keypress doesn't work.

so if I understand correctly the IOTLink uses mouse movement to wake the screen and you'd like such an option in HASS.Agent?
and additional question, is it possible that IOTLink is using some logic to prevent the computer from going to sleep :D?
Hey sorry I'm so intermittent here but yes it uses mouse movements and it totally works, I have found the API on GitHub. It does not do anything to keep the computer awake, I set sleep to Never and leave it plugged in. I also disabled the login so that the lock screen never shows up: https://youtu.be/jXQ7Aj5uBe4?si=6pjOFWCeAPc_IDx1
