Some TVs disconnect from the web socket when the TV is turned off and do not report this to the adapter correctly. Then additional polling is required. You can define the time in settings. If the value is empty, the adapter tries to detect this automatically:
On adapter restart the polling (every 60 sec) is active until the first correct TV off event is detected.

setState('lgtv.0.states.popup', 'Some text!');
