Turn a screen on or off, mute it, set volume (remotely)

From a device's card in the device list (right edge of the dashboard), you can control its display and audio directly, for an immediate one-off change. (For recurring on/off times, use a display schedule instead — see Recurring daily display on/off.)

Turn the display on / off

• Display on (⚡) wakes the screen immediately.

• Display off (⏻) puts it to standby immediately.

Use these for ad-hoc situations — closing early, an event, testing. The screen stays in that state until you change it or until a display schedule overrides it.

Set volume

1. Open the device list from the right edge of the dashboard.

2. On the screen's card, click the volume icon.

3. In the panel that opens, drag the slider — or type the number in the % box — to set the level (0–100).

Useful for video content with sound, or to keep a screen quiet in a sensitive area. The icon shows the current state at a glance: a speaker with sound waves when the level is above zero, and a crossed-out speaker at 0 %.

Mute

There is no separate mute button on the card — set the level to 0 and the screen goes quiet. The icon changes to the crossed-out speaker, so you can see at a glance which screens are silent.

If you want to silence a screen without losing its level, use the mute command instead: send it from Publish / send (↗) or ask the assistant. Unmute then brings the sound back exactly where it was — see Send a command to a screen.

Audio can also be switched off completely in the device's settings, with Enable Audio — see Device settings reference.

One-off vs. recurring: Display on/off here is a manual command. If you want the screen to follow daily hours automatically (e.g. on 08:00, off 22:00), set up a display schedule.
