LEDs stay on when monitors enter power save #78

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run Prismatik, LEDs all work.
2. Monitor enter power saving and display turns off.
3. LEDs stay on.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

When the monitor enters power saving the LEDs should turn off.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

5.10.5

I also have the same behaviour on 64-bit Windows 8 Pro (the log reports unknown 
windows version 160) running Prismatik 5.10.5.

I think an option to switch off the lights when the screensaver is activated, 
or the console session loses focus would be sufficiently close to the desired 
functionality, if it's not possible to detect if the screen has been blanked.

I'm thinking of a workaround using a power strip that shuts off connected 
devices when the primary device goes into standby; It should probably be safe 
to shut off the power to my second monitor and the power supplies for both 
light-packs when the first monitor is off, or goes to sleep.

This would be a great addition. I would like to see it go one step further and 
not be monitoring the light grids causing CPU load too. Saving on power and 
heat generation.
