The Fire Stick is the new Amazon device that allows us to turn our TV into a Smart TV and enjoy the content of the big streaming companies, such as Amazon Prime and Netflix, maximizing our experience.

But in addition to that, the Fire Stick brings a series of functions that are not always learned to handle the first time and when we just start using it, it is normal for us to carry them out a bit . Therefore, today we bring you this guide to make him sleep.

What methods can I use to make my Amazon Fire Stick sleep?

There are two basic ways to put the Fire Stick to sleep , from the settings, using the remote, or through an external app. Below we will explain both ways to achieve it.

Put my Amazon Fire Stick to sleep by setting it from the controller

Of course, we need to have the remote control in hand. The control is a fundamental complement to our Fire Stick and who provides us with almost all its functions. To make him sleep with it, we must:

Press start button

The first thing to do is press this button for a few seconds to bring up a screen with a series of options.

Open the start menu

This screen is the start menu. In it, we will see a crescent-shaped icon, with the word sleep under it.

Select it to use the ‘Low consumption’

This icon will put you to sleep or activate Low Power mode , turning off Fire TV features and lowering power consumption.

How to make my Amazon Fire Stick sleep using an app?

Unfortunately, remote controls can be damaged or even lost, and in that case, we can make use of our mobile and an application to put the Fire Stick to sleep.

This application is the Amazon Fire TV , developed by Amazon and available for both iOS and Android in their respective stores.

After installing it, we must open it and log in with our Amazon account . The app will detect the connected devices and we must select which one we want to use it with so that the code that our mobile requires to be connected appears on the TV screen.

Once entered, the Amazon Fire TV will emulate a remote control on the mobile with which we can put the Fire Stick to sleep in the same way that we explained previously.

Remember to keep in mind that to achieve this, a good internet connection will be required on both devices.

Differences between putting Amazon Fire Stick to sleep and making it sleep

By putting the Fire Stick to sleep and sending it to sleep, they will end up in sleep mode . This consists of turning off all its functions, with the exception of software updates that can be executed and making them complete more quickly.

In this way, the difference between putting the Fire Stick to sleep or leaving it to sleep is that the first puts the device to sleep immediately after activating the Sleep mode, and the second is carried out after 20 or 30 minutes (depending on the model). of the Fire Stick), from being idle.

What can I do if my Amazon Fire Stick refuses to sleep?

There are three different alternatives that we can come up with and use in order to easily fix this tedious bug on the Fire Stick.

The first and most basic is by restarting the device from the Start menu Settings. Usually after restarting the Fire Stick, this function works fine.

But in case this does not work, we can try disconnecting the Fire Stick from the TV and wait a while before connecting it again.

It can also happen that this error occurs for a more serious cause and it is necessary to configure the Fire Stick to factory settings , which is the same as formatting it.

This will cause all information and configuration that we have on the device to be deleted, so it should be seen as the last option. Usually it is not necessary to go to this extreme and can be solved by investing a little patience.
