Remote hibernation and wake

[julesjohn]

I am wondering if it is possible to force my machine into standby or hibernation with my Hauppauge 45 button remote and wake it up as well with the remote - via SendMsg() commands to Windows?

I say this as I don't have a monitor connected to my SageTV desktop and at the end of the day it is nice to force the hibernation. During the day I don't want it to hibernate too quickly of course so I can let it follow the power management settings of course.

In the AM I like the SageTV desktop to wake without having to press the power button. I am using Sagewake so if there is a recording it should wake it back up for it.

I guess I could try a BUTTON={run(shutdown -h)} to hibernate but I don't know about coming out of hibernation.

Thoughts? Thanks.

I don't believe the Hauppauge tuner's IR port can do anything while the PC is not on. I think this can be done with the USB-UIRT, see: How to wake your PC with a remote + USB-UIRT.

Edit: There is a section for waking the PC with a remote in the remote info index. So far, this USB-UIRT link is the only one there, so if there are other ways to do the job, someone post somethign & I'll add it to the list.
