The dpms handling is implemented in the compositor-drm
but it requires trigger from somewhere, e.g. shell :-)
compositor will fire a idle_signal and shell can register for this and
trigger the dpms handling. the "-i" will configure the timeout for this signal

No, ivi-shell is not implementing the idle_signal handler,
since same question was asked in  genivi-ivi-layer-management at lists.genivi.org
I will provide details how to implement this feature with
wayland-ivi-extension there
