Casting not Available when TV is off (hisense H8F)

by CenterInYou

I've been using Chromecasts as my main streaming device since it's launch but yesterday I got my first Android TV: the Hisense H8F. The issue i'm having is after the TV has been off for a bit the TV disappears as a casting device plus if I ask my Google Homes to turn it on it will say the device (living room TV) is unavailable. Is this common? I do have the setting "wake on Cast" turned on but I have wake on WAN turned off.

EDIT: using my app for my router I can see the TV isn't showing up as online. I'll test turning back on that wake on wireless network option.

EDIT 2: it seems what have solved this issue for me is turning on "wake on wireless network" which makes but I guess I thought wake on cast overrode that somehow.

Look and see if there is any type of quick start or eco mode in your TV's settings.

You can try this solution I posted in an old thread. It's for Mi Box, but may also work for your TV. Seems your problem is similar with network being completely turned off during sleep. This app can keep network alive for casting.
