Hi everyone,

I'm currently having my PC as a server to stream my movies. My ideal setup is to let the computer running (monitor off) and watch movies through my phone. Whenever I'm finished, I'd like to remotely put it to sleep and wake it up when it's movies time again.

So naturally, I bought a Flirc. Everything works amazingly as expected, including waking up the PC with just one press of a button on the remote when it's sleeping (Wake button on Full Keyboard). However, one issue that I haven't quite managed to get it working is to put the PC to sleep with the same button (or different one). I've been searching around the forum but things seem rather confusing and I'm not very tech savvy. So my question is:

Is it possible to put the PC to sleep remotely with my remote?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

To put your pc to sleep with one button press, go to power options in the start menu, click choose what the power buttons do, and select sleep for the power button action. then, click save changes. alternatively, create a shortcut with the command rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState 0,1,0 to instantly sleep your pc.
