"DISPLAY=:0.0 xrandr --output HDMI-1 --off" changes layout of Pi

[/RaspberryPi]

Hello,

Pi use case: Magic Mirror with a picture slide show in a vertical layout (display_rotate=3)

Desired function: Turn off display every night and turn it back on during the day

What I tried:

"vcgencmd display_power 0" seems to be deprecated so I found the command "DISPLAY=:0.0 xrandr --output HDMI-1 --off"

However when I turn back on the display using "DISPLAY=:0.0 xrandr --output HDMI-1 --auto" it switches my format to horizontal instead of vertical.

My workaround is to turn off the display at night and reboot the Pi in the morning. I'm fine with it, but was wondering if there was a way to achieve what I actually want to do.
