Thanks
I have tested on
- Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10, Windows Server2012, Windows Server2008r2,

All good, soon for pluginstore I think.

And I can confirm that the ‘Turn Off’ command now works depending on the config setting correctly.

Sorry guys if I am missing something, but where to get the Windows application???
In the .zip file is only the Indigo Plugin, according to the documentation there is also a Windows small program to install.
Where can I find it?

Might be pluginstore aspect - which only shows the indigo plugin I guess...

Check the github releases

https://github.com/Ghawken/IndigoPlugin ... e/releases

Has both - setup.exe 64bit or 32bit as needed.

hey mate, awesome plugin!

Quick thought, with the "turn off" command I notice you can disable it but I was wondering if there was a way (or possible feature request) to make the off button within Indigo to be the sleep command rather than completely power off. Possibly this could be a selection in the config of the plugin or even better each created Windows device if you want it to truly send a shutdown or a sleep command when pressing off, or choosing the off action during Triggered actions.

Only reason I ask is I have a bunch of Win devices as Kodi and other boxes around the place and generally I have them sleep after X amount of time and then When my Logitech remote fires an action or my TV starts responding to pings I send a WOL packet waking up the box. By having the ability to sleep the devices it would make it able to put the Windows devices to sleep quicker when you say leave the house etc rather than waiting for them to time out and go to sleep.

Cheers

Thanks! Certainly can have a look into it.

I think you can do this with the run process command option currently.
Just find the cmd.exe command to sleep or hibernate and send that with the process command?

Like this one:

Could use:

Code: Select all

shutdown /h 
For Hibernate

or Sleep seems to be
rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState 0,1,0

thanks Glenn, for some reason didn't get an email that the thread update so only just saw this reply :) cool can use the run process method for the moment :)

have another possible request. On my Windows endpoints when they wake from sleep the plugin tries to kick in straight away before the network has even come up and so it fails and then trys again after a minute or so and it works.

Just wondering if there is anyway to make it delay hunting for a connection for an amount of time on startup/wake just so you don't see an error about the connection :)

thanks

No problem, let me know if run process not clear.

Re: other request
Pretty sure version 0.9 fixes that? At least for startup network delays...
https://github.com/Ghawken/IndigoPlugin ... e/releases

Was having same problem when moved network to STP from RSTP for Sonos compatibility - this version Quietly checks for network without notification... or at least does on my system!

Haven’t specifically tested it with sleep/wake though, more startup delay, so may need to check that when back in a couple of weeks if still having issues/already running.

Ok so took a look and yep am already running Version 0.9 but that description in the release notes pretty much exactly describes what I am seeing. I think what your saying is correct something about it waking from sleep behaviour is different to the startup behaviour and so it still initial displays that Indigo Plugin is disconnected and then above 10-20 seconds later it Displays the connected box.

I think with sleep because it's pretty much just resuming back to where it was and the plugin would have been connected and active so when it comes back to life before the network connection is active it wigs out. I assume that for most systems on startup by the time Windows finishes logging in and then kicks off any startup items such as the Indigo plugin network is usually going to be active, although with fast SSD's these days it all happens pretty quickly :)

thanks for your help!

Ok, back.
Hmm double check and possibility even reinstall the PC component? - because I am running version 0.9 and don't get the same behaviour.

Kill network - just sits there, then sleep and resume - likewise no notifications... as this new version should do.

I suppose there are different levels of sleep and maybe that's a difference? - but I would 'upgrade' anyway and potentially might need to puzzle over debug log to see what the difference is on your system.

Thanks

I have multiple endpoints and they all do it. They are on ethernet over power for network (unfortunately they are in a rental so is the only option at the moment), so not sure if this makes them a little slower to recognise their is network connectivity and that is causing the issue?

Hi,
Not sure I completely follow - what do you mean by ‘multiple endpoints’ and I presume you mean Power over Ethernet? - for Windows Pc’s?

To clarify;

Multiple Windows devices in various locations around the house
Nope, mean ethernet over power e.g.https://www.tp-link.com/au/home-network ... 9020p-kit/
