Could you, please, add a command to turn on the LCD backlight from the script. I would like to be able to turn it on using Traffic Monitor or Scheduler.
what do you mean by LCD backlight? For what purpose?
When option ‘backlight-timer’ is set to some time, LCD backlight turns off after preset time, and then I must touch it to turn backlight on. It is not convenient. Also, I will not use option ‘backlight-timer=never’ because I don’t want it to illuminate all night.
If there was a command ‘backlight=yes’ I could use it in script to turn on LCD at preset time of day (using Scheduler) or when traffic on gateway interface is detected (using Traffic Monitor)
I tried to execute ‘enabled=yes’ but LCD starts with menu instead of previously selected graph. I just want it to show graph that was selected before it timed out.

I have found a solution:
/lcd set backlight-timeout=never
/system leds set 0 type=interface-status interface=ether4 leds=lcdNow, when I turn my computer on (computer is connected to ether4) LCD backlight turns on, also. When I turn off my computer, LCD also goes off.
Ah, the simple pleasures in life and that sense of accomplishment when something just… works
Funny, you have digged the thread that is one year old, and everything has changed since then. Now it works in different way:
/lcd backlight state=on
Thank you Mikrotik for adding mentioned option.
Thanks, this really helps
