Starlink sleep timer (night + battery saving)¶
Support tier: C
Automatically power down (or “sleep”) Starlink at night or when you don’t need it, to save battery and reduce idle consumption — without losing the ability to bring it back when needed.
What you need¶
- Starlink power control (smart plug/relay/DC switch) or router/API support for Starlink control
- A schedule (quiet hours) or mode signal (Camp / Travel / Stealth)
What RoamCore would do¶
- Provide a simple toggle or schedule for “Starlink allowed”
- Optionally expose a one-tap “Wake Starlink for 30 minutes” action
Common automations (ideas)¶
- Sleep Starlink when going to bed
- Wake Starlink periodically if nobody is home and no other internet is available (to preserve remote access)
- Disable sleep while driving (Travel mode)
