Setting for Tuner Go to sleep

[SaulGoodman1337]

Can we have a setting where we can specify in seconds when satpi will put the tuners into sleep mode after no tuner is active ?
Currently it looks like the tuners do not go into sleep mode at all.
With minisatip it worked great though.

Hi @SaulGoodman1337

Thanks for your request!
Do you know how does that works? or how can I check this in Engima2 (I presume).

Regards,
Marc

I think you'll find what you need here, right?
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.8/media/kapi/dtv-core.html

there is something that sounds like it

int (*)(struct dvb_frontend *fe) sleep
    callback function used to put the tuner to sleep.

does this help?

and thank you for your efforts! satpi is just awesome !

And Here in enigma2 frontend.cpp

Hi @SaulGoodman1337

Yes many thanks for your input, so basically it should turn the power off to the LNB after an adjustable time?

[SaulGoodman1337]

Yes, exactly. In my case, that's 6 watts that are uselessly consumed when no one is watching.
Thank you for an effort!

[Barracuda09]

Yes , I understand the situation. I will try to look into this as soon as possible.

Thanks for you feedback!

[SaulGoodman1337]

Awesome thanks. Can you possibly provide me with a binary for a gigablue 4k?

Edit1
has been done, I compiled it myself.
but unfortunately it doesn't work. it shows up in the log but has no effect.

can you possibly explain me briefly how i can execute ioctl command in enigma myself?
then I would play around a bit

Edit2:
Ah okay.
I think you have to reset the diseqc before doing sec_voltage_off, can that be true ?
Also it would make sense if you add some kind of timeout. Set voltage Off after 30 seconds without tuner activity. Otherwise it could happen that the switching times increase when only one tuner is used.
