Hi,
great work, thanks.
I am having no luck with the display going blank neither on the TTGO_LoRa32 or Heltec boards. Both display all information correctly, but even if I set the .json file and upload it, no change.

"display": {
		"alwaysOn": false,
		"timeout": 4,
		"turn180" : false
	},

Looking at the code, the function display_toggle(bool toggle) seem to be okay, but it still simply does not switch the display off after the timeout. This is not good for the OLED displays, as they like to burn out pixels after some time.
Thanks.
