Hi all,
I have a Sony A8 OLED TV - I haven’t measured power consumption but I’m pretty sure it’s bad when on standby - it switches on and has network connectivity way too quickly for it to be sat at the quoted 0.5W in standby. I’ve also read online that it’s a problem with these TV’s - they don’t go into deep sleep. If the info I’ve read is correct, it’ll start costing me £7.50 per month come October, without even turning it on!
First instinct is to put it on a smart plug but stupidly I can’t get to the back of it - it’s wall mounted and was a nightmare to get up there so not an option unfortunately. Should have thought about that one!
Reading the info on the HA Android ADB integration, it looks like I can schedule a shut down of the TV with an automation and that will help.
Any tips/guides/gotchas? Guessing I’ll need to manually do a pixel refresh every now and then as it won’t be able to. Also will the remote turn it back on?! Looks fiddly to set up too.
Thanks.
