[VU+ Duo] New power manager help.

[mickyblueys]

Could somebody please explain how to set up a simple timer for putting my box to deep stand by at a particular time and then to wake it to stand by at a later time.
I've tried and can't get it to work currently in build 427. This is my current example timer which goes to deep Stand by then wakes then goes back to deep stand by......not stand by.

OK Using this power timer I set the box into deep stand-bye manually and waited it came back on and went into stand-bye, I turned on TV and the box Immediately went into deep stand-bye!
As you can see this was using your preferred method. You can also see that the second stage time had not been reached at that time but it now has and it is asking to go to deep stand-bye again.

I confirm this issue and we're looking into it.

i am starting to loose my patients,as i said repeatedly wakeup from deepstandby wake the box 4 mins early so the timers can activate. look at your screen shot and the current time

you have an end timer of 9:45 and the current time is 9:41 so the just woke up (4 mins early as i have explained why, this is controlled via drivers) as the it is not 9:45 the end timer has not been activated yet. if you waited till the correct time and left the box in standby the box would have gone to deep standby, but as you took the box out of standby, you shoud be been asked to go to deepatandby @ 9:45.

Timer are fully working, i can't find nothing wrong with them.

no we are not, there is nothing wrong that i can see.

If there is nothing wrong, could you please explain in lamens terms (imagine I'm a simple person) how to place my box into deep stand by at 01:00am then for it to go to normal stand by at 07:45 am.

All of the settings I try just place the box back into deep stand by at 07:45.
Much appreciate all of you're time and effort ....but I just can't get it to work.

Andy you seem to be misinterpreting the results there are more than myself having the same issue on and off forum.

I set my timer as you said you have yours set. The intention being that you can use the box between the two defined times.
When the stage one timer turned on the box it placed it in to stand-bye as required but when I then turned on the TV to watch, the box shut down immediately no questions asked! As you can see this was before the 2nd stage timer was due and having then manually powered box on it went into deep stand-bye at 9:45 as programmed. The issue being you cant use box between the times if its off.

Will you give me a set of times that should work that are minutes apart no hours (so as to reduce test time) given the driver constraints I will test it and report back?

 

[satnav]

Just tested again with an hour between wake up to stand-bye and stage 2 deep stand-bye exactly same result i.e when I then turned on the TV to watch, the box shut down immediately no questions asked!

Please list the exact timers you are setting or the end result of timers you are looking to set.

 

[satnav]

Only to pleased too again.

Screenshot 9 is the power timer I set earlier today.

Please note I gave ample time for drivers and box to do its thing, I turned off manually to deep stand-bye 10 mins before timer was set to awake.

The box promptly awoke on time and went into stand-bye, I turned on TV to watch and the box immediately went into deep stand-bye!
I then turned on box with RC and it came up working. I left it on and promptly at the timer setting time it went into deep stand-bye.

I have provided the power log in screenshot 10. You can see that I turned it back on at 12:29 but I don't understand the log!

I just want an exact list of the timers you are wanting to set, nothing more please. Just please list the exact timers your are trying set only.

Just wondering, could this be a HDMI CEC issue? How are you turning on the TV & what are your HDMI CEC settings?

I was getting to that, but 1st want to test the exact timers.

 

[satnav]

Screenshot of file that I would like to work please.

Regarding the HDMI CEC possible issues I have tried and tested with and without that control and get same results!

 

[andyblac]

ok, i have just spent the couple of hours trying to test all type of timers, and as a result recoded powertimer quite abit, i have now added "Wakeup To Standby" and an option for End timer, so having Go to DeepStandby as Start should now work with next update,


please test next update, also i have added lots of debug info into log to try to help find issues, i will build update soon.

Good man itching to try it out.

 

[yngvekl]

Not sitting in front of the box right now, but isn't it possible to use two timers?

"Timer type" (go to deep standby) @ "Start time" (00:00)
"Timer type" (wakeup to standby) @ "Start time" (08:00)

/Yngve

 

[Sicilian]

When you do and IF it fails, please post exact concise list of timers.

 

[satnav]

Yep that seems to work but not as intended.

yes, it would.


anyway

now you should be able to use


Timer Start: Wakeup to Standby @ 8:00 End Time: got to Deepstandby @ 22:00

or

Timer Start: goto deepstandby @ 22:00 End Time: Wakeup to Standby @ 8:00
