INSTALLATION / CONFIGURATION
System Requirements:
This plugin is for HS3 or HS3PRO. It works only on Windows for now.
It is designed to allow HomeSeer to detect any mouse or keyboard activity on a local or a remote computer.
Plugin Installation on your HS3 Machine:
Download and install from the updater (Utilities section) or download package from the Beta Testing thread and follow instructions to install.
Plugin Installation on a remote Windows computer:
To install on a remote computer, you need first to install it on your HS3 machine, even if you don't want to use it on your HS machine you need to have it installed there (but you don't have to enable it) so that HS3 doesn't complain about licensing issue when you start your remote instances.
Then
1.Download the remote install archive from https://www.dropbox.com/s/f7pv5w6hix...0-0-7.zip?dl=0 and unizip it wherever you want on your remote computer.
2. edit the run.bat script with a text editor
3. replace
- <absolute_path_of_exe> with the absolute path of the directory where you installed the plugin
- <ip_of_your_hs_machine> with the actual IP of your HS3 machine
- <instance_name> with a name for this instance of the plugin (no space or special characters).
optionally change other parameters:
- console is an optional parameter that hides the console window when set to false
- autoreconnect is an optional parameter which makes the plugin automatically reconnect when the connection with HS is lost. It can be useful for example when you want to restart HS without having to restart all the remote plugins manually. <seconds_to_wait> is the number of seconds to wait before the plugin tries to reconnect.
here is for example how my run.bat looks like:
Plugin Configuration:
Go to the config page 'PLUG-INS > KMS > Config - InstanceName', you should see a page like on the screenshot below.
The Inactivity Delay is the number of seconds after which the KMS device will be set to off, if no mouse movement or keyboard stroke is detected.
You can enable or disable Mouse Sensor / Keyboard Sensor if you only want to monitor one of them or if you want to disable them both (for example if the instance running on your HS3 machine does not have any keyboard or mouse)
"Check other instances every X seconds" is a setting that will only appear for your local instance, it allows to monitor the state of the other remote KMS instances. For example let's say you have a laptop on which you run the KMS plugin remotely, if you shutdown the laptop, the corresponding KMS device in HS3 will not switch to off immediately because the KMS plugin is not running anymore, but it will be set to Off by the local instance next time it checks if the remote plugin is still running.
