Description

After several minutes at idle, log gets message [PowerFSM] Turning off screen.
After this point, the E-Ink display does not receive any updates until user presses a button to wake the device.

Because the E-Ink display image persists, even after Screen::handleSetOff() runs, it is not immediately clear that display updates have suspended.

It may be worth considering either:

  • Allowing the E-Ink display to remain active
    Unlike traditional displays, there is no considerable standby power consumption.

  • Moving to a standby screen before "turning off screen"
    This would make it clear to the user that updates are suspended, and that a button press is required to display current info.
