How to schedule projector to shutdown every day?

  Hi IT forum folks,

  This is a common problem.

  Staff use projector during presentations and forgot to switch off.

  Some staff end presentations after office office hours.

  Stay back every day just to stand by to switch off projector is inefficient.

  Currently my company projectors do not have network ports, Sanyo and Infocus brand.

  2 computer ports, 1 of them is connected permanently to Liteshow server.

  When you switch on projector you will see Liteshow server connection.

  So I can choose to connect wireless or VGA cable.

  But if I forgot to switch off projector, it will run permanently on.

  Thikngs get worse as staff forgot to switch off during Fridays because everybody rush to go home Friday nights.

  I welcome any sensible solutions, suggestions.

  Thank you

  CL

  There are plugs which you can select to be shut down by time.

  This is what we call a basic timer switch. You can set it what hour to come on & what hour to off. Can be found in homefix. 
  
  There is more complex one - digital screen type .
