How to Set a Power On/Off Schedule for Your Player
This guide walks you through creating a schedule for your player to automatically power on and off each day using the Schedule tool in the Player Control Page.
Step-by-Step Guide
1. Open the Player Control View
-
In your dashboard, click the Players tab (if it’s not already selected).
-
Click View next to the player you want to configure. This opens the Player Control Page.
2. Access the Schedule Tool
-
Click the Schedule tab or button from the control page.
-
This is where you define the daily power behavior for your player.
3. Add a Power-On Task
-
Click Add Task.
-
Under Command, select Power On.
-
Choose Every Day (or specific days you want this schedule active).
-
Set the Time — for example, 6:00 AM.
-
Click Create Task.
-
You’ll now see a task confirming the player powers on at 6:00 AM every day.
4. Add a Power-Off Task
-
Repeat the same process:
-
Click Add Task
-
Select Power Off
-
Choose the same or different days (e.g., every day)
-
Set the Time — for example, 10:00 PM
-
Click Create Task
-
-
You’ll now see both tasks listed (e.g., 6 AM ON / 10 PM OFF).
5. Edit or Remove a Schedule
-
Click on any task to delete it individually.
-
Or use the Reset Schedule option to clear the entire on/off schedule.
Tips
-
Scheduling ensures your player only runs during business hours, saving bandwidth and device life.
-
You can mix and match days (e.g., Mon–Fri only) for different opening hours.
-
Always double-check the time zone settings for accuracy.
