Sleep Timer App?

Sleep Timer App for Google TV?

I have my google chromecast with Google TV. I’m currently using it with my projector but the projector does not have HDMI CEC natively built in.

I usually sleep while watching Netflix/ YouTube and want the the google TV to shut off with a timer. I just need something that will kill the app (close app) after a certain time as my Chromecast will then automatically sleep after 15 min of idle and then my projector will turn off 10 min after.

If there’s any apps in the playstore I can download that would close the app after a certain min time period please let me know.

Thanks

I know Tasker, but it might require root, depending on the task you're assigning. I don't think this would require root, but I've been wrong before. Also, not sure how this would work in TV version of Android, as I haven't personally tried it.

This app is for phone but it has actions you can trigger after timer hits

Almost every streaming app has a "are you still watching" or similar. Some apps have a "if you don't do anything after some time it doesn't pick the next episode" On every app I use this happens if I don't do anything/falls asleep:

  1. Screensaver. 2. CC turns off after a while. 3. Tv turns off because "No HDMI input" or whatever it says.

I believe TV Quick Actions has a sleep timer built in, and a lot of other stuff as well.

I like to sleep off to netflix too so I created a routine in Google Home so the box turns off at 2am every night
