      Hello,

      Is it possible to automatically turn off and turn on the pi at certain times of the day? Or simply put it on standby so it doesn’t turn on all night for nothing ?

      Thank you.

        Set a cron job to turn it off at a set time, thats the easy part. however, to turn it on you need an external timer.

        So maybe get a regular outlet-timer, set it to turn off 20-30min after the cron job has turned your pi off, then set the timer to go on again when needed.

        But, since the pi doesn’t really draw that much electricity, why not just leave it on?
        If you think it needs to be rebooted, then just add a cron job that reboots the pi.
