QuestionMissing Chromecast WiFi disconnect func. Pin

Well I got Chromecast and was fantastic. Working fine. But I'm not happy with the Wifi data usage. It eats lot of data even if you are not casting. It uses upto 20MB-40MB per hour while idle. Dont mention when your are casting it. The strange thing is that the app(Chromecast app) don't have WiFi disconnect functionality. Well there are ways mean but I would say there are inefficient and I don't consider them helpful.

1. To select other WiFi instead of yours. Which in my case no other Wifi available.
2. To unplug the chromecast from the power line not from the TV(This still consumes Wifi data).

Is there anyone knows other app(Android or iOS) that do WiFi disconnect from chromecast.

I wounder who designed the app this way.
