Add improved sleep behaviour to your Kodi system, allowing the system to shut down after a certain amount of time.



Introduction

The Sleep addon provides support to automatically shutdown/suspend Kodi in a similar manner to the traditional TV Sleep Timers. If has many additional features and be launch by any of the following methods:

  • From the "Programs" area of Kodi
  • As a screensaver
  • Via a remote control or keyboard button (Configurable which button)



The Sleep Dialog

Sleep Timer Dialog

The dialog to control the Sleep Addon is designed to be a simple as possible. When the dialog first opens it will show the sleep timer as disabled, the timer can be extended, by default in ten minute intervals (configurable in the settings), by performing either of the following actions:

  • Pressing the configured remote or keyboard button again (For each press it will extend the timer)
  • Selecting the "+10" button on the dialog

If the sleep timer is currently set if can be reduced or cancelled by selecting either the "-10" button or the cancel button.

The sleep timer will also allow you to have Kodi shutdown after a video finishes playing. If there is a video playing when the sleep timer is set, it will shutdown after it completes. If there is not currently a video playing it will shutdown after the next played video completes. (Note: The Sleep timer will only shutdown the system if the video completes playing, if the video is stopped manually, then sleep timer will not shutdown - this is by design).
