Xibo

Auto Shutoff

Asked by Shawn

Is there a way to schedule the displays to auto shut themselves off. So over night they can power down to save power and not be constantly running?

Thanks
Shawn

Hi Shawn

It's been covered before: https://answers.launchpad.net/xibo/+question/88154

Xibo doesn't support this directly yet, although there is more than one blueprint registered for it:
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/xibo/+spec/rs232-command-support
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/xibo/+spec/client-wake-up
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/xibo/+spec/display-control-via-svga

I personally use a BIOS timer to wake the PC up and a script to shut it down. The screen powersaves automatically when there's no input.

Cheers

Alex
