Feature Request: Return to Home Screen on Power Button

It should also turn out the lights for you so you don't burn electricity.

Which device(s) are you talking about? On my Roku TV, hitting the power button stops streaming (because when I turn the TV back on, it's back on the home screen). Is this not the case with other Roku devices with a power button?

No, the power key is for your tv power, after it is programmed for your brand of tv. I think the only model of roku console to respond to a power command is the roku 4.

I  do not know which device the OP is referring to.  I just tried with my roku ultra.  I started streaming a movie,  pressed the tv power button on the utlra remote, waited a few minutes, then turned the tv  back on with the  power button on cable remote.  When the tv came on, it was on the  roku screen with the movie still streaming.

They press power so send the home command, or better yet put the Roku in some sort of sleep mode.

I  think  would be great if it would stop streaming when the power button on the  roku remote is pressed.

I have a feeling they are not linked in any way.  The Power/Volume buttons on that control the IR while the home/etc buttons are wifi direct.  It's possible they don't even intersect in the programming.

And of course I could be completely wrong.  Just thinking out loud.

You could be correct.  If someone from ROKU could confirm that, then at  least we would know it is not possible.

OP has a Roku Streaming Stick model 3800.

He’s previously posted a thread on this same topic in April. It had the very same subject. https://forums.roku.com/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=114359&p=589450#p589450

He was given all the correct answers, but has now started a new thread on the same topic.

And make toast. We’ve been asking for this for years!

I've seen this on my Roku 3 a few times, no matter how many times I've told my wife to stop the stream, usually a music stream. I finally programmed the home command into my Harmony as a "when leaving activity" so it now does that.
