What's new

Faster TV wake with Always Ready

  • The monitor now escalates a screen-off to a full power off after 10 minutes — before the TV would drop into deep standby on its own. On TVs with Always Ready enabled (Settings → General → Always Ready) this keeps wake-up at ~3–4 seconds instead of ~10. On TVs without it, behaviour is unchanged.
  • Suspend now uses a full power off too, landing the TV in the same fast-wake standby.
  • Wake retries are faster and denser: one connect attempt per cycle with Wake-on-LAN resent every ~2–3 seconds until the TV responds.

Simplified configuration

  • The BOOT_SHUTDOWN_MODE and MONITOR_MODE settings are removed — there was only one sensible combination left, so the commands are now hardcoded (ON, OFF, SCREEN_OFF). Old config files that still define the keys keep working; the values are simply ignored. No action needed when updating.

Fixes

  • Wake-on-LAN on Fedora: ether-wake defaults to eth0; the interface that routes to the TV is now looked up automatically.
  • Cleaner suspend/resume logging: no more doomed duplicate TV-off during the suspend window, and a successful wake after retries is logged.

Docs

  • Restructured, shorter README with the Always Ready tip under Prepare the TV.

Updating

sudo /opt/lgpowercontrol/update.sh

Settings and TV pairing survive the update.
