Does your Powershell shutdown script allow to shutdown the device completely with the Harmony remote and wake-up?

Same question as @movie78, and can you share script and instructions? I assume we can teach Hamony remote "Win + 8" by adding MCE remote/keyboard to activity, along w/NUC already there?

The number key references which position the shortcut is on your taskbar. So his script was the 8th item. For example it's in the 3rd position it would be Win+3. The script is probably using the Stop-Computer command.

My taskbar is set up with Win+1 = launch Kodi, Win+2=launch Windows Update. I have just been sleeping with my Harmony but the shutdown script is a good idea. I think I'll go that route to. You need to have both the Media Center Keyboard and the Media Center Keyboard SE added to your Harmony. I think the SE is the one that adds Windows Key functionality.

Yeah it just tells the computer to shutdown, and I've never had a problem with the remote turning it on.

What is the PowerShell shutdown script that you created that auto works with the Harmony remote not the Keyboard?

Based on the page you linked to, for shutting down just local PC, seems all that's needed is this?

Code:
Parameter Set: Default

Stop-Computer

So, do you open Notepad, copy/paste above script and save as what? Then, just pin shortcut to taskbar right? If I add it just before Outlook icon, would that be Win + 1?

BTW, for auto-boot to Kodi, do we even need Launcher4Kodi? Was thinking of just doing this.

I'm not home and won't be till Saturday, so not 100% sure since I'm more a *nix guy, but I think you can right click on the desktop, go to new, then create shortcut. For the location of the item you can just do (without the quotes) "%SystemRoot%\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe Stop-Computer" then for the name just call it Shutdown or Powershell Shutdown. Then just drag the new shortcut into your taskbar where ever you want it and use that hotkey as an additional command for power-off in Harmony. I think I also added a 3 or 5 second delay after that since sometimes it would hit the script but the script wouldn't really launch and the computer would sleep.

Also I don't use Launcher4Kodi, I just put Kodi in the Startup Folder if I want it to startup on boot. Honestly though I just have it in the first location on the taskbar, and I have the red button on my Harmony mapped to Win + 1 so it will launch it from the remote.

Yeah I use the SE mappings.

Perfect, just tried on my desktop PC and works... thanks!

Here's what I'm using, w/a 3-second delay:

Code:
%SystemRoot%\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe Start-Sleep -s 3; Stop-Computer

Think you need just this...

New Atom chip-based HTPC by Beelink. Wonder if this can do HD audio bitstreaming? Not worth it if not at its price point. Unboxing video.

Where are you seeing Win + 1 in the Harmony Commands settings?

hdmkv · 2016-06-02, 02:09

You're ahead of me... I haven't tried programming my Harmony yet. @timstephens24 or @Statikk, any pointers?

It's evening and just relaxing, catching up on recorded TV... this is totally off-topic, but you gotta watch this. Hilarious.

Saw it on Youtube today, it was hilarious and well executed. Cool

Do 'Microsoft' and 'Windows Media Center SE' and add it to the activity.
