An Aroma plugin that 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).

Features

Auto standby/power off GamePad (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 (must be in range).
Launch .wuhb vWii forwarders on TV only instead of both screens.

Installation

Download the latest release from the Releases page.

Copy the .wps file into sd:/wiiu/environments/aroma/plugins.

User guide

Configuration:

Open the plugin config menu from the Wii U Menu (L+D-Pad Down+Minus on GamePad/Pro Controller/Classic Controller).
Set the desired idle time for the GamePad to enter standby mode or power off.

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
Wii forwarders on TV only: true

Changelog

v0.7 2024/07/25

Removed: Launch .wuhb vWii forwarders on TV only instead of both screens.
- This feature has moved to the Wii VC Launch plugin because it seems more suitable there.

v0.6 2024/05/07

Requires Aroma Beta-17 (2024-05-06) or newer (specifically PluginBackend version 0.3.0 or newer).
Update to WUPS 0.8.1.
The power off/on GamePad option will now switch between powering off and on while the config menu remains open.
Improved the power off on boot feature:
- Will no longer power off on an OS relaunch (e.g. when exiting System Settings).
- Will no longer power off on a plugin reload (determined by OS uptime < 5 minutes).
Bug fix.
