This is going to be interesting to watch, as many low-end digital signage solutions do not have the ability to fully shut off the displays they’re attached to (and I suspect some high-end billboards will have displays fully decoupled from media players, etc.)
- raverbashing 4y agoA hardware store timer should solve that problem
- Etheryte 4y agoAt a fiver per piece, old dumb and reliable tech, and set and forget, these are by far the easiest solution.
- vladvasiliu 4y agoDon't these have some kind of basic "oh, I've had no signal for 10 minutes, guess I'll turn off"? I have two such displays in the office (Nec something) that have input sensing and a shut-down timer. They're pretty old, too (they were already there when I joined 7 years ago).
- bhaak 4y agoI don't have a problem with that because the likely workaround for those will be to not be allowed to be on at all. :-}

- csmattryder 4y agoYeah, I'm trying to think how a lot of these are going to work, myself. When I built a low-cost signage platform, a lot of the devices we deployed to were Android 4.4/5.0 (yes, even in 2020+), which doesn't have auto on/off that Nougat introduced in Android 7.0. Probably some poor sap's job is to Teamviewer in and install a third-party app to control the shutdown and startup.
