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)
