Re: Remote switches

Hibernation mode wouldn't work as I don't have the right keyboard. My generic only has a moon icon and when I press it, nothing happens. Darn it!

Iknow you can get audio controled light switches so I'm sure the technologies is out there , by just saying the word "ON" the light comes on and "OFF" the light goes off all you need is the same type of switch controling the the socket the PSU is connected to BUT that obviousley does not switch the actual PC/Laptop on as you still need to physicaly switch on the machine, as an interim can you not just let the machine go into hibernate mode? which is about the closest you will get to controlling the on/off. Failing that why not try contacting a paraplegic organisation as I'm sure they would have some members that might need something similar

Hi,

I have severe allergies and so use my desktop computer through a glass panel. At the moment I need someone to turn it on for me. However, I'd like to buy a part for my PC so I can turn it on with a remote or something similar instead. Can this be done? Our regular TV remotes work through the glass panel so something INFA-RED could work also.

What technologies are there?

What prices do they start at? Where can I get them?

Thanks,

S.
