How to Turn Off Xiaomi TV Right TV: way + fixing

Xiaomi TVs TV (including the Mi models TV 4A/4S/4X/5/5X/Q1/Q2 Redmi Smart series TV) There are several ways to turn off, from the classic button to voice control, but not all users know that simply tapping the remote does not always mean completely switching off: many devices go into standby mode with power consumption to power consumption. 0.5 In this article, we will analyze all official and hidden methods of disconnection, as well as solve typical problems - from "does not respond to the remote control" to forced shutdown when getting stuck.

The thing about PatchWall (and its global versions) is that it's actively promoting energy-saving modes, which means that even after you turn off, the TV can stay online for quick start-ups or updates. If you want to turn off the device completely, read the physical shutdown section. If the TV is dead and doesn't respond to commands, go to the emergency reset instructions.

1. Classic button-off on the remote

The most obvious way is to use the standard Xiaomi Mi Remote (or compatible ones), but even here there are nuances: depending on the model and the firmware version, the Power button can work differently.

• 🔄 Standby mode (default): the TV "turns off" but stays connected to the network for updates and quick start. The indicator on the front flashes red or white.
• ⚡ Full shutdown: only available when holding the Power button for more than 3 seconds (on some models - 5 seconds.
• 🛌 Sleep Mode: If the Sleep Timer feature is activated in the settings, one tap can put the TV into sleep mode with a timer.

To check the current status, look at the LED indicator:

- Flashing red: Standby mode (consumption) ~0.5 W).

- Burning white: on or in update mode.

- Extinguished completely: completely off (0 W consumption).

⚠️ Attention: On Xiaomi models TV Q2 2023+ Holding the Power button for more than 10 seconds resets the sound settings to factory. This bug is fixed in firmware 1.4.65+.

3.Voice control: "OK, Google" and Alice

Xiaomi TVs with Google TV or PatchWall (Global/Chinese firmware) supports voice shutdown via built-in assistants:
