Since a kiosk might go long without any usage, we should power off the screen to save power in such periods.

Add idle tracking

Note that this does not do much without an idle manager "on the other
side". See, for example, swayidle: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/blob/master/swayidle/swayidle.1.scd

Fixes #7.

I am trying to get a cage installation to turn off the monitor after a specified time. You mention using swayidle to implement the idle tracker, but the examples for swayidle use swaymsg to send a dpms off message to turn off/on the monitor. swaymsg using the sway (only?) IPC to turn off the monitor.

What command should be used with swayidle to control dpms when using cage?

Hi @mweber26, sorry for the slow response. I think we can either add this to Cage, or perhaps (and more to my preference) we can use an external tool such as kanshi.
