SeaShores Posted January 12, 2022 Report Share Posted January 12, 2022 Hey All, Noob here, trying out new things. I am attempting to set up a magic mirror and would like to use my HomeBridge Broadlink IR blaster to shutdown my raspberry pi when I leave the house. If I set up the broadlink to send just the simple power command, if the pi is already off, the broadlink will turn the pi on when I leave the house- which defeats the purpose of trying to save energy. Before I buy it, can I program a Flirc USB IR Receiver to just send a shutdown command? and is there a guide that anyone can link to me please? Thanks!

Segfault Posted April 29, 2022 Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 RPi in idle mode does not draw any power. If it was the only load in your house it wouldn't move your meter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
