Have a look at the node-red-contrib-alexa-remote2. IIf it's possible that node should be able to do it.

I use node-red-contrib-alexa-remote2 ... but I don't see the possibility, but maybe I don't.

I don't have a show , so can you set a routine to turn off screen, if so you can then run that routine.

In Alexa Routines, Custom Actions was recently added (I don't know how recently). Just type in the command you would say. It's at the bottom.

I have looked in alexa-remote2 but can't find that option to skip creating the routine but you should be able to trigger Alexa Routine from alexa-remote2. I use Custom Action to open a Hubitat Dashboard in Firefox.
