I am currently looking for energy saving option on all my devices. On my 4 RasPi's I have installed a Shelly Plug with the RasPi power supplies. While a single power supply only uses around 5 VA, 4 RasPi's already summing up to nearly 20 VA. and this is wasted energy , when I am not using MoOde. Last couple of years I have ignored this energy waste, but nowadays I think I need to do more to save energy. So the Shelly Plugs could be used to startup the MoOde player ( System boot ) and I could also use the MoOde menu to shutdown the RasPi - where I modified the system to tell the Shelly Plug to turn off the power after 2 min. Now long story short: often I or family member forget to do the shutdown and a direct switch off through the shelly app might destroy the MoOde SD-Card. So I would need an automatic shutdown from within MoOde.
I am currently testing the use of the built-in "MoOde Sleep Timer", which could shutdown the App at an exact time - so like a last chance before the day finished.
To make a finer tuning I think it would be nice to have a special energy saving feature:
When MoOde doesn't play any track for a period of time (e.g.2h ) it could start a shutdown sequence. I think this could be a third Option in the clock radio: Wake up, sleep & energy timer. It would be simliar like the two first, but enabled it will start a sort of watch dog timer after each track. When the watch dog timer will not restarted with a new track play, it will initiate the shutdown sequence as energy saving.
What do you think ? Does this sound feasible ?
