Help/tips on getting an Android TV to wake up and close down automatically

by ShrikeFIN

My office has several televisions running graphs etc. data on our walls from Chromebit's hooked up to them. We have Samsung ones that have built-in scheduling options, so it's just a matter of setting it up.
Recently someone was given the job of getting another TV for similar duties, but to a different part of the office. Since I've been setting these things up, nobody really knew what functionality they should check the TV's have and thusly the last one is lacking said scheduling options.

The TV we have is a Philips 43PUS7202/12 (link to Finnish product page) and I've been thinking of trying to set up the attached Chromebit (or if that fails, one of the desktops in that room) to wake said TV up via WoWLAN, but before I go about researching too deep into this, I thought someone might have an idea how to achieve this in an easier fashion.

Anyone have any ideas or tips I could look into regarding this?

Probably there is a nicer way to this, but this is a start. You need to enable developer mode on the TV.

You can access adb wirelessly, if the TV supports it. So you enable developer mode, then connect to it with:

to turn it on / wake it up:

adb connect <the ip of the tv>:5555
adb shell input keyevent KEYCODE_WAKEUP

put the TV to sleep:

adb connect <the ip of the tv>:5555   
adb shell input keyevent KEYCODE_POWER

You could get a Logitech Harmony Companion https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01JHQZSHW/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_0wURDbKB0DTHV

They can have schedules setup and a whole lot more. You can make them have even more automation functionality if you pair them with a Samsung SmartThings hub. I have both devices in my house, and they're great.

Just get one of those plug timers ppl use when they go on holiday to turn their lights on and off.
