Sleep-Timer (Put system to sleep in x)

Summary:
A timer that shuts down the system in x minutes.

Description:
A timer that changes its value by pressing a linked button (like a sleep button on many TV remotes). Values should be editable in TV-Config (120/90/60/30 etc.).
The timer would need to communicate with the Powerscheduler-Plugin since just putting the system to sleep doesnt set a wakeuptime if there's a planned recording.

This has nothing to do with the Powerscheduler Idle Time, if TV was on, that idle time is never reached and thus the system would never shut down without user interfering.

Why would you want that feature? Just shut down your PC if you want it off!
-Well, some ppl (like me) got a HTPC in the bedroom aswell, and i like having radio/tv/whatever on while falling asleep. I dont like my PC running the whole night though

The My Alarm plugin has that functionality. I can't tell you if it works or not as I don't use it (the sleep timer part), but if it doesn't I'd be happy to check it out and try to fix it.

You're talking about the included "My Alarm", yeah?

Ill test that 2mrw, from what ive seen having a quick look at it is that you can only set one time though.

My Alarm is good but if the my alarm hibernate the system the powerscheduler cant start the pc. Im I right?

AFAIK Powerscheduler should wake up your PC since it steadily writing next wakeup time...but...why not give it a try before asking? :-)

i have a problem, when im using powersceduler and my alarm to shut down my system.

my alarm changes the screen to the homescreen, as it should, but the powersheduler does not shut down my computer after the 3 minutes.

Hi

I'm using build MP 18436, and "My alarm Sleep" does not change to homescreen after the sleep time
Also when I set the Sleep time and Activated it I don't see the timer going on..

There is no log as you know..
I'm using BlueTwo Skin

Any help?

Thanks!

I also tried My Alarm. After the sleep time media portal changes to home screen.
Is it possible that My Alarm puts the PC into sleep after the sleep time? or has powersheduler be configuerd that it puts the pc into sleep, when mediaportal is in homescreen and hasnt been used for x minutes?
