With the Heltec V3 card the display always remains on, even if the correct option and seconds are selected in the menu. This happens if the card does not connect to a wi-fi network or if it connects as an AP. However, if it is connected to an access point, it turns off correctly based on the seconds and the option selected in the menu.

As I read in another thread it would be useful to have 3 options:
-Always on
-On only when receiving/transmitting or exchanging data
-Always off

right now there are 3 modes available:
-always on,
-few seconds on (time > 0)
-always off (time=0)

please check if time = 0 works for you (just tested here and screen does not turn on)

Ok, but it only works when Wi-Fi is connected. If not connected in AP or Wi-Fi mode, the display always remains on regardless of the option I select.

Hi, I have the same issue on TTGO 1.6, the display stays on even when there is no active connection to the AP.
