Hi All, is there any documentation on how to make this work correctly?

http://brightsign.zendesk.com/entries/168141-can-i-turn-on-and-off-my-display-using-the-brightsign

We are currently using HD210 devices with commercial grade Samsung plasmas connected via HDMI. The HD210 are connected via Ethernet. I have used the activity of DisablePowerSaveMode & EnablePowerSaveMode in the activities drop down, but when it gets invoked, the HD210 just reboots?

We would like to ulitse the schedule feature and only want the devices playing between 8am -> 5.30pm. I tried to configure it with the activity but that means i need 3 projects; 1 to turn the screen on, 1 with the actual content, and 1 to turn the panel off. Any help would be appreciated. Regards Rob M

  What firmware is on your brightsign, and what version of brightauthor are you using? Can you publish a project, and send us a link so we can see the rebooting you describe?

  Hi Lyndon,

  I cannot publish anything publicly as we are using the Simple Network setup with our own webserver.

  IF it's something you want to run on a schedule, you can do it with three projects, one to power on, one to power off, and the main project.
  
  You can also add the power on command to a file in the main project, so you just need two projects. So, the power on would occur when the first projects is played.

  Thanks Lyndon,
   We decided after reviewing a few other posts on the forums about the control over HDMI not powering off the screen but rather cutting the signal to invest in a $25, 7 day timer on the power outlet!
  
  
  Thanks again
