How to turn my tv off automatically on amazon fire stick after inactivity? I've been looking...

Look at the settings for your TV.Often there is one for inactivity where if you don't do anything with the TV, change channels etc the TV will turn itself off.Not all TVs have this feature.

You're probably out of luck. TVs that support that feature, switch themselves off automatically by default.

If it's not doing it, then your TV does not support that feature and manual intervention is necessary.

You may find this article helpful, most modern TV's that have HDMI use what's called CEC (Consumer Electronics Control), your TV may call it something else depending on the brand, this will allow you to control both your TV and the FireStick using the Firestick remote, once you have this setup, the sleep function on your Firestick should turn off your TV too:

It has to be a thing, but there is an old school solution to this that only works if you are habitual in routine... by a timer that plugs directly into your outlet.... If you always in bed by say, 11pm, set it to 11:15? Im sure there is a more modern solution that tracks your habits, but if you are always asleep by a certain time this will answer it :)

There should be an option under your tv's settings.

It's commonly called "Eco mode", "Power saving" or something similar. I actually hate it for the opposite reason.

There is indeed a "thing".

It's called an "On/Off Switch", and even if there isn't one on the TV, which I'd have thought unlikely, isn't there a switch on the mains socket on the wall?

You might need to try the settings on your tv instead of the fire stick.
Mine does the same thing.

I do not have firestick so i cant say. But your tv might have it's own power save settings that will do it

Tvs used to have timers built in. Im not sure if any of them do anymore that was really oldbut I used to have a TV that I could go to the menu and set Monday to Sunday just like an alarm clock toturn on and off at whatever time I chose.
I used my TV as my alarm like this, but it could also turn off the same way.
