It doesn't interact with Illume, but in SHR Illume power management is disabled by default. And you can easly do a wrapper to apps using mdbus or dbus-call to automate things. And in near future I will work on SHR Settings speed. Now it works good with x11-16 engine, but there are still things which need improvement.
