GamePad Auto Standby

This is a Wii U plugin which makes the GamePad automatically enter standby mode (screen off) or power off when left idle for a configurable amount of time (similar to any other controller).

Additional features:

• Option to power off the GamePad on boot.
  • It will not power off if it was used to turn on the console.
• Option to keep the GamePad on while it's charging/plugged in.
• Power off/on the GamePad remotely from the plugin config menu (obviously it must be in range).

Installation

For convenience, you can download GamePad Auto Standby directly on your console from the Homebrew App Store.

Alternatively, download the latest release from the Releases page by clicking on gamepad_auto_standby.wps.
Copy the gamepad_auto_standby.wps file into wiiu/environments/[ENVIRONMENT]/plugins,
where [ENVIRONMENT] is the actual environment name (most likely 'aroma').

Usage

Open the plugin config menu by pressing L, DPAD Down and Minus on the GamePad, Pro Controller or Classic Controller, or B, DPAD Down and Minus on a Wii Remote.

Default settings:

• On idle mode: Standby
• Delay: 5 minutes (lowest possible is 1 minute, highest 60)
• Power off on boot: false
• Keep on while charging: false
