How to set up a Sleep Schedule

Setting up a sleep schedule ensures your Airtame-connected screens automatically turn off when not in use, saving energy and extending the lifespan of your displays. Sleep schedules are ideal for workplaces, AV setups, and specialized cases like ingest for Microsoft Teams Rooms, where screens should only be active during use.

Set Up a Sleep Schedule

1. Open your Airtame Cloud account.
2. Select one or more devices to configure.
3. Click the Edit Settings button.
4. In the device settings, click the Schedules menu.
5. Toggle on Sleep Schedule.
6. Choose one or both scheduling options:
   
   • Turn screen off: Set specific on/off times for each day of the week, like 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM on weekdays.
   • When not in use: Automatically turns off the screen after a delay when the device is idle.
7. Click the Save button.

How Sleep Schedules Work

1. CEC Control: Airtame sends CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) signals through HDMI to turn displays on or off.

2. HDMI Signal Cut-Off: If the screen doesn't support CEC, Airtame stops sending an HDMI signal, triggering the screen's "Power Save" mode if supported.

Additional Notes

• Sleep schedules allow screens to wake automatically for screen sharing or calls. Once the session ends, the device returns to sleep after 10 minutes if within the scheduled off hours.
• You can manually wake a screen by pressing the LED button on Airtame Hub or the reset button on Airtame 2, keeping it active for 10 minutes.
• Test the sleep schedule on your display to ensure it behaves as expected. Adjust the screen’s power settings if needed.
