Use Schedules to configure a specific time during the day for Airtame to sleep, reboot, or update:
Sleep Schedule
How to configure Sleep Schedules:
- Select the device(s) you wish to configure and click on Edit settings.
- Navigate to Schedules.
- Click to enable the Sleep schedule
- Configure when Airtame should attempt to turn off the screen:
- Turn screen off: Select when to turn on and turn off the screen
- When not in use: Select delay before turning the screen off
How it works
The Sleep Schedule feature works by shutting off any HDMI signal from the Airtame device to the TV/projector/display. In this way, if your TV screen/projector/display has a Power Save mode based on the lack of HDMI signal, it can turn off (when not receiving any HDMI input) and enable its own Energy Saver mode.
Please note that this feature doesn't turn the Airtame device off, nor does it perform a reboot of the device. It simply stops the HDMI signal from the Airtame device.
When the Airtame is in Sleep Mode it is still possible to stream to the Airtame device. Even though the TV/projector screen or display, will be black, the Airtame device will still show up in your Airtame app as an available device and can be streamed to. If you end the stream, and you are still within the hours of the Sleep Schedule, the device will wait 10 minutes and then go back to the Sleep Schedule by cutting off the HDMI signal.
CEC support
As of firmware version 4.1.0, all Airtame 2 devices support CEC - Consumer Electronics Control, a feature of HDMI that allows devices to control each other.
Please note that CEC support will be available for Airtame 2 devices only.
CEC used together with Sleep Schedule enables remote screen management through Airtame Cloud. You can use Sleep Schedule to automatically power displays on and off at specific times of the day or after being idle for a specific amount of time. This saves on energy consumption as well as the time and effort otherwise wasted on manually turning screens on and off within corporate and educational environments.
Airtame Cloud now allows to set scheduled reboots on Airtame to make sure that performance is always stellar and doesn’t eventually decline.
How to configure Scheduled Reboots
- Select the device(s) you wish to configure and click on Edit settings.
- Navigate to Schedules.
- Within that menu, you will see an option called Reboot Schedule. Toggle this On and set the hours you would like for your Airtame to reboot
Scheduled Updates
Airtame firmware updates do not happen every day. But when they do, it could be the wrong time for them to happen. Imagine not being able to stream to Airtame because it’s being updated — it’s annoying, right?
Scheduled Updates feature allows administrators to configure the exact weekdays and time intervals when the updates should be installed. If you want updates to be installed at night or over weekend, now it’s easy to configure your devices so.
How to configure Update Schedules
- Select the device(s) you wish to configure, and click on Edit settings.
- Navigate to Schedules.
- Within that menu, you will see an option called Update Schedules. Toggle this On and set the hours you would like for your Airtame to update. Outside those hours, any updates will be paused.
