How to wake from stand-by?

Post by spritemv »

I discovered EventGhost this morning and I absolutely love it! I've spent the majority of the day figuring out the program and I've whipped up an incredibly handy config file for all my HTPC apps. However, the final step is getting my remote to wake my HTPC from stand-by. I'm using an Anyware GP-IR02BK remote and a Gigabyte GA-E7AUM-DS2H mobo. I adjusted the registry (as mentioned here: http://forum.team-mediaportal.com/ir-se ... ver-29024/) so it no longer automatically elicits Windows Media Center actions. However, by obliterating its previous WMC functionality, I've lost the ability to wake my PC from stand-by. I created an EventGhost command to put my computer into sleep when I hold the power button for 2 seconds, but the program obviously can't run while the computer is sleeping. Is there any way to get the remote to wake my computer from sleep mode again without restoring the rest of the WMC actions?

Thanks for the help!

Solved: Wake from USB devices was disabled in the system BIOS. After enabling it, everything worked just fine.

Do you know if waking up from standby by the remote only works for S3 (standby)? I was wondering if it also worked with S4 (hibernate). I know wake-on-LAN packet can turn a system on from S4, not sure if the remote can do the same thing.
setup: windows 7 + EventGhost 0.5.0-rc4 + Intel nuc6i5syh

Sorry, I do not have an answer for you and I will not have access to my HTPC for a while so I can't test it out. Hopefully someone else can be of help!

Haha, same here! Won't be back home until end of the week; if I have a chance to test it this weekend, I'll note my results here.
