I'd like to trigger a scene when my PC goes to sleep and wakes up. I figure the best way to do that is somehow create an executable file that triggers a scene and put that in windows scheduled tasks. Has anyone done anything similar? Any thoughts on how to externally trigger a scene, i.e. .exe/.bat/hotkey, etc.

Thanks for your reply. I've tried that, but I think cURL has changed since that post was written. I wasn't able to get it working.


It may just be a minor syntax change that needs to happen. If you include the command you tried, along with the error, someone here should be able to help you work it out.

Here's a guide one of our users did that executed a scene from the command line:

It's around step two that has the info for the cURL command.
