Similar questions have already been answered in the past on this list, 
at least. From the answers I got earlier, I understand that

- all the MCE D-Bus calls are documented in 
https://github.com/nemomobile/mce-dev/blob/master/include/mce/dbus-names.h

- there's a more friendly API under development at 
https://github.com/nemomobile/nemo-keepalive, which seems to have both 
C++ and QML interfaces (which both does exactly what you're asking for, 
including telling you when the screen goes blank). Presumably, when it's 
ready and deployed, that is what Jolla will tell developers about, and 
allow imports of.

In the meantime, you may just have to write some C++ code that you can 
use from your QML (or copy what you need of that nemo-keepalive into 
your C++ code).
