Ideas please? I have purchased and setup a 2025 Frame Tv for my very elderly mother. Forget about using the remote :-), I have it setup for Art mode and loaded with pictures. Everything works, even off line. The TV turns off no problem, but it appears that it will not turn on automatically each day at 8AM unless there is an internet connection. Any work around? Smart Things is not an option, since her residence does not have wifi or internet available. Thanks in advance!

The 2025 Frame TV’s auto power-on at 8 AM requires internet, so offline scheduling isn’t supported. Without Wi‑Fi or SmartThings, the only workaround is manual turn-on or using an external programmable outlet timer that can safely power the TV on at a set time.

Thx for the reply. I was afraid of this answer. However I hadn’t thought of using an auto timer - great suggestion!
