CCWGTV never goes to idle (lemm.ee)

Hey guys. Is there any Android TV app that can trigger auto turn off after set amount of time of not using CC remote control?

We have a projector connected to ChromeCast with Google TV 4k and also a bluetooth speaker connected to CC. Sometimes we fall asleep while watching a movie/show at night and it is just wasting projector lamp hours. What I want is actually a basic TV feature that pops a message on the screen "shutting down in xxx seconds" and gets canceled with any button on CC remote control.

Projector actually has that feature, but then I have to use projectors remote control (trying to get rid of it with smart IR blaster and Home Assistant) to cancel the shutdown and even if it goes off CC is still playing sound from BT speaker. Projector has HDMI CEC settings, but it is not working at all unfortunately.

CC has a feature "Automatically turn off when inactive", but it never gets to inactive state because Jellyfin will just play a next episode (can be disabled, but would like to keep it) or TiVi mate is just playing until closed manually.

All opinions are welcome, thanks

Thanks for input.

Several of your devices have the feature you want, but you ignore or defeat them because you want another feature as well (play next episode, etc)

Well the projector have that feature, but I'm not happy with it because CEC is not working. I end up with half solution because sound is still playing from BT speaker. Other than that, if I want to continue watching I have to grab projectors remote to press a button (less important, but working on reducing number of remotes from 3 to 1).

CC works fine if I dont use autoplay next episode (it still plays movie/show untill the end), but doesn't work if Im watching TiviMate. Again half solution unfortunately.

You could look into Google Home Automations

Specific time like 00:30 wouldn't work for us, but I've been playing with home assistant yesterday and came to hopefully a great solution. I was thinking about automation that will mute sound 90 min after CC was powered on and then if I don't disable mute in 5 min another automation turns off device. Sounds perfect, but need to try it out. I guess Google HA can do that as well, but I already have home assistant for other things in our house.

audio / video (AV) receivers

We dont have any AV receiver yet, CC is connected to projector via HDMI and to speaker via bluetooth.

If you have other tips or you think I'm missing something, I'll be happy to hear
