Lean Computing: Lowering power consumption without sacrificing utility

[mk01]

is anybody really turning PI off ? the 'concept' issue for me is no convenient way to turn it again on.

HDMI CEC is working nice with the other devices I have, TV, AV receiver, blue ray, separate Amplifier, even is possible to setup what should be on and what off in relation to specific HDMI input port chosen on the AVreceiver, or even Samsuing TV can control (turn on / off) all the devices in groups. PI can send CEC signal, or receive such, but there is no kernel with huber / suspend support, so only way is go to power off.

and only known solution for me to turn again on is replug power.

so currently PI is running all the time, but instead of powering off, screensaver acts as CEC control. When started, all devices are going to suspend / off.

And all possible cabling simplified byt buying AVreceiver now having power cord and and hdmi. still two more than wanted, but ...
