turn steam link on/off

[opticalasian]

Is there anyway other than a steam controller or unplugging the power cable?

Mouse, keyboard, wired controller, most wireless controllers.

be specific...how do i use a 360/ps3 controller (both wired) to turn them off?

In BPM you select the icon shaped like a power button and then select one of the actions.
When not streaming, navigate to the icon shaped like a power button and click on it.

BPM?

BPM = Big Picture Mode - the steam full screen UI.

Also when in game. You can use the Xbox Guide button or PS button to get to the steam overlay menu. Holding down this button in this menu (or in BPM) will give you an option to stop streaming or shutdown the Link.

How can you turn the steam link on with a PS4 bluetooth controller? Is this possible?

[CR7_2011]

Yeah that's how I do it also.. PS4 can obviously turn on using the controller via bluetooth. I don't see why thie steamlink can't do the same...

Let's solve this real quick. If you want to turn your Steam Link off when using a controller and not connected to steam on your PC, all you gotta do is press a single button. Then whatever your confirmation button is. Lets go into detail!

PS4: Press the Playstation Button!

XBone: Press the Bone Button!

Steam Controller: I don't own one, but you'll either be able to use it as a mouse to hit that big Power Button on the Right hand Corner, or press the Big Picture Button! I that doesn't work, spam that ♥♥♥♥.

WiiU Pro Controller: Can you even use that with Steam Link? Why would you? It's wonky as hell, why is the A button on the right? Why is the B button on the bottom? It's the jankiest wannabe Xbox Controller I've ever seen.

360: Press the 360 Button!

Tablet: Tap the Power Button!

Mind Control: Will the Steam Link into realising that life is really nothing more than a simulation of events and that nothing ever really dies, it just ceases to function because that's just how our simulation was programmed. Will it into realising that sometimes, we need to stop. Smell
the flowers. Just... sleep. Will the Steam Link to sleep.

Hammer: This is a multistep process but it's pretty simple.
1. Grab the hammer by the handle. The handle is the longest part of the hammer, usually made of wood, or steel with a rubber coating.
2. Hold the hammer above the Steam Link with the (usually) circular flat part of the head of the hammer facing down toward the Steam Link.
3. Raise the hammer over your head, keeping your eyes on the Steam Link.
4. Bring the hammer down on the Steam Link in a straight/curved arc (personal preference), activating the hidden impact sensing off switch. (You may need to repeat these steps a couple of times, the impact sensor is a little janky)
Now, I must warn you that, while effective, this method is permanent.

Keyboard and Mouse: Bring your mouse over to the Big Power Button in the top right corner.

Hope this helped!

the link never fully turns off, it goes to standby when not streaming and no controller/k/m input for about 5 minutes
then wakes with any k/m/controller input
