This Keyboard and Mouse Sensor plug-in (KMS) is designed to allow HomeSeer to detect any mouse or keyboard activity on a local or a remote computer. It sets a device status to "On" as soon as it detects a mouse movement/click or a key stroke on the keyboard, and it sets it back to "Off" after X seconds of inactivity, where X is configurable.
One possible use for this plugin is to detect occupancy or lack of occupancy in a room. For example I have this plugin installed on my desktop PC and HomeSeer configured to turn on the lights in this room as soon as I move the mouse, and turn them off after 3 minutes of inactivity (no mouse movement/click or key stroke during 3 minutes).
Please read the User Guide before installing.
Please report any bug.
