I don't want to set up something like that. I'm looking to keep things simple,
effective, to cover my own memory loss should I be distracted and have to deal
with something else. Automatic shutoff is important, but not while the device
is being used.

And she absolutely LOVES remotes. Carries them around, loses them, etc. I'd
really be just asking for more delays in my life, that way.
