Hi There,
I have one of my Chromecasts connected to a big monitor with speakers. When I stop casting the monitor never goes to sleep unless I power it off because of Chromecast backdrop. If google adds functionality in Chromecast to put it in sleep or Standby mode or a mode in which it is not sending any signal to HDMI the monitor or the TV will automatically go to sleep. Amazon Fire TV stick goes to sleep after 20 minutes of inactivity (http://www.aftvnews.com/fire-tv-stick-can-be-forced-to-sleep/). I feel Chromecast should be able to go to this mode after there is not user input for predefined time like we have in computers, laptops and even in mobile phones. But google has not added this functionality. Probably developer can make a App to add this function.
Thank you
