Wakeup with remote (1 Viewer)

[enricong]

I have a SnapStream Firefly RF USB remote. Has anyone had any luck getting this remote to wakeup the computer from standby? If not, can anyone recommend a remote that can wakeup from standby?

I have a biostar K8M800 Micro AM2. I have enabled the bios setting to wakeup from lan and have set the jumper to provide power to the USB ports while in standby. I think all that is left is to configure the driver (or find a device) to actually wake the computer.

My Imon PAD remote does it perfectly. I have it mapped to an activity on my Harmony remote ao that it takes the HTPC out of standby when I select "Play HTPC", and puts it back in when I switch to another activity. If I'm not mistaken, your USB remote receiver has to be powered seperately from the USB port in order to do this. I could be wrong on this, and there very well may be a way to make your work. Does it have a "allow this device to wake the computer" setting in the advanced properties of the hardware manager?

it is powered, however it will not wake. I see the option for "allow device to bring out of standby' but it is greyed out.

I suspect it just wont work with this motherboard or this remote.
I've been dumping money into this pc, replacing fans and stuff to try to make it run more quiet instead.

Was S3 standby enabled in your BIOS before you installed Windows? If so, and it's greyed out, you may just need to apply the registry hack...

Key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\usb
Value:
USBBIOSx 0x00000000 (0)

try this reg file and reboot the pc

I will give the DisableSelectiveSuspend setting a try and let you know.

Also just to clarify, the firefly x10 remote device has no power saving tab in device manager.
The USB hubs do, but on each of the 4, I can only select "allow computer to turn off". the "allow this device to bring computer out of standby" is greyed out.

try this reg file and reboot the pc

I tried it and the power management tab disappeared so that didnt work.

You are using S3 standby mode, right? Does that remote have a software manager that comes with it, like to allow it to control Windows? My imon remote has such, and you can hit the power button on it to wake the PC. Of course if you are using S1 or S2 standby, there is no power to wake the PC in the first place.
