Turn screen off button

[nightowl66]

Is there a button/widget I can add to the home screen to turn the screen off instead of using the side button?

Yep, there's plenty of apps/widgets which do that on the app store.

Thanks actually found a toggle in my power toggles Widget. The only problem is I use the fingerprint to unlock it now with the power toggles widget not only do I have to use my fingerprint but then I have to enter a pin. I can't seem to find a setting to get out of that

Yup, some of them don't fully work with marshmallow, so it's a case of finding the right one that does

I used to use this one;

Which kinda works, but it has issues if you want to read a notification from the lock screen if you have previously locked the phone with the widget.

AFAIK you can't. It's sort of part of the security.

Okay thanks so I guess I just have to decide whether I want to use my fingerprint to unlock it or a screen button to lock it whichever is more convenient
