You can say “Alexa, turn on do not disturb” to block alerts for calls, messages, etc. and that should put the display into idle mode where the screen is dimmed.
You can also say “Alexa, turn off the screen” to turn it off completely.

If you want to do it as a routine, use \”Add Action\” > \”Custom\” and type \”turn off display\”
This will force an \”Alexa, turn off display\” command to be processed without having to actually say it out loud.
Jim, I dub thee Sir Knight. Thank you.
the “custom” option is not available when i try to add a new action
what can i do?
I searched the action too, it is not available, you should have waited to Knight Jim. Where do you add this action on the phone app or on my Echo Show? or Echo Spot?
On the phone app, add action, customised, (it is at the very top).
