- Proprietary timer off causes only screen off - content is disabled, signageOS is live, Android is live, the network is online, screen is off, LED is green.
- Native timer on and Proprietary timer on events cause the screen to turn on. This causes Android reboot only when coming from standby mode.
- Display on and Display off commands do the same thing as proprietary timer events.
- Native timer on events are also scheduled for the next 7 days using TV API. This is a failover mechanism that kicks in if the TV enters true standby (device off, network offline, LED is red). This doesn’t work after a power outage!
