Help Screen Off to save power button prevents Smart Lock

[Advait]

Not rooted stock Nexus 5 with 5.1.

I installed a Screen Off app to save wear and tear on my power button. However, I discovered this app prevents Smart Lock from working. I set Pattern Lock with a Bluetooth device Smart Lock. When I use the Screen Off app the Lock Screen appears when I hit the power button. When I use the power button to turn off then Smart Lock works and it recognizes my Bluetooth device and skips the Pattern Lock screen.

Any way I can get a Screen Off app that allows Smart Lock to work as it should?

Thanks,

Just a total guess here but when you go to Settings, security, device administrators, is there an option to check Screen Off?

Yes, I can turn off Device Administrator for the Screen Off app. Then the Screen Off app no longer works. I want the Screen Off app to work, and I want Smart Lock to also work so there's no Lock Screen when I'm connected to my Bluetooth device. The Screen Off app prevents the Smart Lock from working.

Any way to fix this? Thanks,
