Wake pc from sleep with Yamaha remote?

Post by Bad_Karma »

I want to wake my pc with the 'power on' button on the remote of my Yamaha RX-457 receiver.

My RC6 compatible IR receiver detects the 'power on' code: EG shows event as: MceRemote.Unknown.BEFAFEFAEFEAAFEA8

I'm able to wake my pc from sleep with my MCE remote, so that is not an issue.
I'm running EG 0.4.1.r1600 on Win7 64bit SP1.

Is it possible to wake my pc with this event MceRemote.Unknown.BEFAFEFAEFEAAFEA8 ?

Waking a computer up with an IR receiver happens at the hardware level. EG functions on a software level.
Since EG isn't running while the computer is asleep it's not going to be possible.

However, I think there are 3rd party receivers that can be programmed to send a wake up signal.
It will have to happen on the device though, not through software.

EDIT: Looks like USB-UIRT will do the trick.
Check out this info.
