Log into Windows with Eventghost

[Flyingsubs]

Hi Everyone,

First post here. I love evenghost! I am using it to automate my room, lights, heater, tv and windows. I am going to be moving eventghost onto a server so it will be able to run 24/7.

My question is, is it possible to have eventghost unlock the computer? I saw a thread about this but it didnt work for Windows 7/vista. Im on Windows 8 and i want to be able to unlock my computer with and NFC from my phone. I just need to figure out a way for eventghost to send an unlock.

Thank you for any help you guys can give!

So i figured out a work around using bluetooth proximity. This isnt eventghost related but is home automation stuff. I used tasker (android) and created a profile that turns bluetooth off after 15 seconds when connected to my computer. This app can unlock your computer when it detects bluetooth. This way I don't have to type the password in. I also disabled the password on start up and have a script that executes to lock my computer right after. This allows my computer to start eventghost and then lock itself. Here is the link:

That looks very interesting for domotica purposes.

Thanks for reporting back!

I don't want my roommates using my computer. This way I can lock and unlock it easily kinda like a car keys
