Automatic Switch to Moodlighting for Screensaver? #55

Open OSUJaws opened 8 years ago

OSUJaws commented 8 years ago

Enhancement idea

Would you be able to implement a screen saver type idea where after a certain period of inactivity (Selectable) the lightpack can switch to the mood lighting mode? Once activity is detected the lightpack will return to normal screen grabbing mode. I think that this would offer an amazing enhancement as walking into my office with the lights behind the computer would make it look spectacular. #

Well, Desktop Duplication will also grab your screensaver, so why not just set up a nice screensaver?

Edit: I'm not sure this is a core feature. If you do some scripting, it can easily be done through the Prismatik API, which allows to switch profiles, so you could setup a plugin / script to do the switch after a timeout.

I am also interested in this. I managed to talk to prismatik through telnet commands but for the moment cant get it to work through a .bat script. After the telnet 127.0.0.1 3636 command I am not sure how to input the setprofile commands as just putting them in the .bat does not input them. I was going to make two schelduled tasks with two .bat scripts (one for the normal prismatik profile and the other one for the moodlamp).
