Re: WIN7 Away mode

Perfect! Yeah that was me. Fixing these two issues in the main release makes the mqtt/EventGhost/Smartthigns tutorial I'm working on much easier :D

Re: Re-enable monitor doesn't work on windows 8

OK it is the SendCommand function that EG uses that is not compatible.. not the actual act of turning the monitor on or off..

it's the -1 that the command probably has an issue with.

Re: WIN7 Away mode

I updated to 0.5 beta 5 and ran that script again and did not get an error. But now that I am running the original version of the PowerBroadcastNotifier, I'm not seeing the events. I replace PowerBroadcastNotifier again, I start getting events. Hope that helps.

Re: WIN7 Away mode

Hey again. I placed the code above in EventGhost\test.py, ran it and got the following error. I am currently running the modified PowerBroadcastNotifier.py posted earlier, if that matters.

Re: Re-enable monitor doesn't work on windows 8

I want to check something with the monitor power.. but this has to be a physical computer not a VM and it has to be running windows 8/10

you just have to paste this code into a python script and run it. it should turn the monitor off, and then a couple of seconds later turn it back on...

Re: MQTT Client

I love this plugin! I would have saved a ton of time replicating my monitor in "SmartThings" if this was included by default. Nice work. :)

Re: Re-enable monitor doesn't work on windows 8

Hello! This is still an issue on win 10, but the suggested fix addresses the issue. If anyone is looking for features to add, this is a great one to assist home automation integration with EG.

Re: WIN7 Away mode

Hello! I registered just to say thanks for the updates for PowerBroadcaster! I agree with a previous poster that this would be great to add to a release. I'm using it to fully replicate my monitor status as a switch in my Smartthigns / home assistant setup. Only problem I still have left is Re ...
