[QUOTE="mickelin, post: 736052, member: 25242"] [b]Re: eventTrigger [v1.2.0 Beta][/b] I see, then it gets trickier... Do you really need individual light control inside MP? In that case it is probably easiest to buy a second Tellstick and have one in each computer. On the second topic, my idea assumes that you use a remote to turn on the TV and the projector. If that is the case, EventGhost could detect those events and "know" which one you are using. Are you using a single remote (Harmony or similar?) or an MCE remote together with the original TV and Proj remotes? Try loading the Keyboard or the General HID plugins in EG and see if it detects the TV On and Proj On IR codes from the remote. The EG code would then look something like this: Autostart eg.globals.TVOn = False eg.globals.ProjOn = False TVOn Macro MCERemote.TV On (or whatever the event you get when you push the TV On remote) eg.globals.TVOn = True eg.globals.ProjOn = False ProjOn Macro MCERemote.Proj On (or whatever the event you get...) eg.globals.ProjOn = True eg.globals.TVOn = False and then when you get MP events from the trigger plugin: MP Light Control Macro Main.MP.Movie.Play If eg.globals.TVOn == True: Tellstick.TurnOff.1 (TV lights off) Else: Tellstick.TurnOff.2 (Projector lights off) Hope you get the idea. Similarly, you could implement the Disable function by adding a variable in Autostart, set it using some unused button on your remote and check for it in the MP event: Autostart eg.globals.LightControlEnabled = True Picking up the remote key: Enable Macro (toggles the enabled/disabled state) MCEUnusedButtonPressed If eg.globals.LightControlEnabled == True: eg.globals.LightControlEnabled = False Else: eg.globals.LightControlEnabled = True And in the MP event: MP Light Control Macro Main.MP.Movie.Play If eg.globals.LightControlEnabled == True: If eg.globals.TVOn == True: Tellstick.TurnOff.1 (TV lights off) Else: Tellstick.TurnOff.2 (Projector lights off) Of course this is just "pseudo code" to illustrate the ideas, but hopefully it will guide you in the right direction.
