Do you have an all-in-one machine? If not the monitor likely has a hardware
power button.

I have an external HP monitor. I turn it off and it turns off. Turn it on
and it turns on. Still, the built in monitor cannot be shut off... so I have
a hot corner for putting the displays to sleep. No random mouse movement
wakes it up (why would it)?

Also can script, if I want, to have the monitor be woken up by script with
built in "caffeinate" command.

I an hit any key on the keyboard (or button on the mouse... just movement
does not wake it). This is handy when I walk into the room and am doing
other things: just hit the space bar or the enter key on the number pad or
whatever else and it wakes as I do other stuff. The built in monitor is very
fast to wake but the secondary one is a cheap one that takes longer.

Do you need to solve any physical problem with pressing the button ?
