Method to turn on and off the display #38

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

Currently there is no way to turn on or off the display connected to the 
GoogleTV from an application.  It would be useful if you could programmatically 
send the power on or power off command to devices just like the remote does.

Potential Use Cases:
 - Scheduling the display to turn on and off (i.e. I want to wake up to Good Morning America at 7AM everday)
 - Support for long-running apps to enter a power-saving state.  Unlike Android phones, the TV display won't power off after N minutes of idle time.  If no one interacts with my app for N minutes I'd like to be able to power down the display and save some energy.

Would also like the ability to send commands to a receiver as well, if 
possible. (Change inputs, power, volume etc.)

Having worked with many TV vendors, deploying their products in an interactive 
context,  turning the TV on and off is only the beginning. What's really needed 
is a comprehensive query/control of the state of the TV, perhaps something like 
an enumerator of gettable/settable attribute/value pairs, which expose as much 
of the TV's basic workings as possible.

Example Basic set of attributes:

DisplayPowerState: on/off
MuteState:  on/off
Volume: 0-100
Current Input: internal tuner
Inputs Available: internal tuner, hdmi1, hdmi2, vga, etc
currentChanel: 24-2
signalLocked: yes
signalStrength: -14db
ber: 23
mer:34
displayResolution: 1920x1080
contentResolution: 1280x720

etc
