Plugged in and on all the time?

[Mr. Link]

Just a question...is everyone keeping their Chromecast plugged in and powered-on full-time? I am, but I noticed the adapter gets a little warm. Just wondering everyone's thoughts.

I've had mine since opening day,unplugging it only once,to demo @ a friends house & promptly setting it back up again,powered on 24/7/365.

No problems here....

It shuts down or goes into deep sleep when the HDMI port isn't active or being probed by the TV, and when not being tickled by other apps. I don't know which. I imagine deep sleep makes far more sense.

You can use Wifi Analyzer to see it shut off.

In any case, I leave it plugged in and don't think about it.

I leave it plugged in with powers from the TV's USB port so when the TV gets shut down so does Chromecast.
