Hey guys,
I asked this question over at avs and in the girder forums, but noone seems to know the answer and I thought that before I loose hope I would ask here.
What I want to do is have housebot turn off the touchscreen monitor after a certain amount of time. This may sound easy, but I have a multiple monitor setup, and when housebot turns off the touchscreen it also turns off the signal to the TV.
If anyone knows how to turn off one display, while keeping the other on it would be great.
Auto Shutoff monitor on multiple monitor setup.
I guess the way it works for multi-monitor situations is a bit undefined. The Software Remote simply sends a Windows message (SC_MONITORPOWER) to shut off the power to the monitor. I don't know of any way to specify a particular monitor, so I would have assumed the call would simply blank the monitor that the app is displaying to that sent the message.
In effect, this is the same thing as when the monitor goes into power save mode after a period of time (if so configured). Can you have one of your monitors in power save mode without having the other? If not, maybe this is a video driver issue.
