help with standby

    hello
    i'd like to execute a command when enigma2 goes to standby, and another when it leave the standby mode:
    any suggestions?
    i thinked about verify the powestate: i found a way using the webinterface but looks not so good (is there a file that contains the running powerstate?)
    or to edit something and add that command before or after the stanby "command" (which file shoud contains that)?


    thanks to all

    You can monitor the config- variable config.misc.standbyCounter that is set as soon as the box is sent to standby. I did it like this in KiddyTimer- Plugin (you can find the sourcecode here:


    To attach yourself to the Standby- Event you do something like this:

    Code
    config.misc.standbyCounter.addNotifier(self.enterStandby, initial_call = False)


    And then in the function enterStandby you can monitor, when it comes back by using the Standby- class:


    Python
    from Screens import Standby
def enterStandby(self,configElement):
    Standby.inStandby.onClose.append(self.endStandby)


    HTH
    Tode

    many thanks for the reply
    but unlucky i cannot "speak" py :frowning_face: but many thanks the same for the suggestions, i have already downloaded the source and i'll try to understand something: but at this moment look as china language for me


    there is not any file that stores the standby or working state (or system variable, so i can access to it with a simple sh script)? verify that values (if it is present) every xxx seconds is enough for me
    thanks again
    regards

    ...If you just want to find out the power state you could use this "dirty trick"... :winking_face:


    Issue the following command:


    cat /proc/stb/avs/0/input


    In Standby the result will be: aux


    In Power On mode you get: encoder


    ...hope this helps... :winking_face:
