Help with a macro to shut off TV

Post by farfromuman »

I setup a macro to watch for system.idle and send OFF command to my TV with USB-UIRT, this works perfectly except that the system goes to Idle after a min or two but the video time out is set to 45min. I tried to find an event for when windows times out the video but it seems nothing gets generated when video goes off.

So unless there is a system message that I am missing, I was wondering if there is a timer and some way to cancel the timer in case the system goes to system.unidle after the timer starts the countdown.

I am using Vista and EG r990

Thanks for any ideas,

Mariusz
