Have Chromecast 4K Power On in Standby Mode?

[doron]

Hi folks,

My Chromecast 4K is connected to a receiver which is connected to a projector which in turn triggers a motor-powered screen. During normal operation, this works beautifully: Powering on my Chromecast powers on the receiver and projector (HDMI/CEC), and the latter brings down the screen. Power off button on the remote shuts everything down. Perfect. 

Well, almost. When there's a power failure, and power is subsequently restored, the Chromecast boots into "on" mode, rather than "standby". This causes the whole system to power on, projector, screen and all.

Is there a way to tell the Chromecast to boot into "standby" mode when it receives power (or, perhaps, "last known power state"?)

I found a lot of online discussions about the opposite direction (i.e .prevent it from going to standby), but none on this aspect. 

Thanks for any insight. 

If there's no way to do that, - it'd probably be a good option to add (maybe in Developer Mode or some Advanced section).

Unfortunately, there is not a setting option for that.

You can tell Google what you would like by using the "Send Feedback" option:

Google doesn't read every post in this forum but they do read and track all the feedback they receive that way. Just so you know, they won't respond directly to feedback so don't ask them any questions.
