Hi,
is it somehow possible to put ATV2 in sleep mode directly from XBMC instead of going to frontrow first? I really miss that feature!
Cheers,
Jens

I've looked into this and didn't find any possibility to do that. The official API doesn't give us any powermanagement functions. I also looked into private APIs and searched for something like "sleep","hibernate","suspend","power" ... nothing.
For now nobody has figured out how to do it and i think it has low priority for the devs.

Not in the cards until some design issues are resolved.

Believe me this is a pain in the a** ... but i also asked some official iOS developers around me and nobody had a hint - so official it is not ment to be done. I also would like this feature and maybe will dig into it again if i get some mood. But better don't be optimistic.

gezz, less than 6 watts power consumption when running. A light bulb takes more power.

A simple way could be a delay of inactivity after XBMC automatically exits. Then the ATV2 Will go to sleep after the delay in configuration.

For me it's not an issue about power comsuption it's the damn bulb. As others Memphiz has said a bulb is not a welcome addition to a dark room, and I'm sure many have the ATV set up in bedrooms as it's so suited (Cost and noise).
Wouldn't suprise me though if Apple hadn't provided a way to control power state for third party's. Ah well, I live in hope!
Don't even think about my mother!

I was also hoping to see the ability to turn off the aTV from xbmc. I didnt even know I could put the aTV to sleep until a couple days ago because I never leave xbmc.

Easy one...power managment of xbmc, quit after 15 min and then on the atv software, put to sleep after 2 min...
That's working for me
