Turn Roku Off

rokuoff.py

#!/usr/bin/python

# Simple script to turn off roku. Send it an ip address of your roku and it'll turn it off. 

# This script is so green and earth friendly it basically refrigerates the polar ice caps. 
# Schedule this with cron to turn your roku and most likely TV off. 
# 
# crontab -e 
# ex. shut off my roku at 8 am every day if roku is on 192.168.1.2
# 0 8 * * * ./rokuoff.py 192.168.1.2
