Power Saver package

Very simple power saving example code. Just add this package to your existing setup and it will automatically power off your screen according its configuration.

Adding this package to your existing setups

Before adding the sub package

Click on the Add.. button. A dialog will open:

Adding a sub package

After adding the package

Your setup configuration screen will now look like this. As you can see the Power Saver package was added as a child Package to your existing package. Now it's time to customize the Power Saver options. Click on the wrench symbol next to the Power Saver button. The interface will show you the options for that package:

Power package options

Select your time zone. Then mark each hour of each weekday. Clicking will toggle between red (the screen of your device will be turned off) and green (the screen will be active). You can keep holding your left mouse button to switch multiple hours at once.

Offline

This package will not work offline if the device does not have a correct system time, as it's impossible to turn the display on/off according to the set schedule. The device needs at least NTP access to work. The screen will be turned on until the device managed to fetch a somewhat correct system time
