This breakdown is mostly to show how this works, and of course gives you most of the information needed to do it yourself.

i’m also assuming you have DisplayFusion installed and running, and are somewhat familiar with how it works. This obviously needs to be continually running in the background for the HA Bridge to work. This can be set up on a linux/windows computer or using a raspberry PI. Straight off the bat, I’m assuming you have working Amazon HA Bridge emulator. Let’s dig right in and take a look at what was needed to get things up and running. It took some doing and a little sniffing with WireShark to find the commands it was sending through HTTP using DisplayFusions remote app, but thankfully it’s very possible and works very well. Couldn’t figured out why.īeing a big fan of DisplayFusion, I figured, wouldn’t it be great if I could run the function scripts from that program remotely, and then tie it into the HA bridge.

I tried many many ways to get this working, using PSTools, Wmic using my home server, but sadly, these commands would not work properly, with some triggering what I wanted, and others doing nothing. Using WOL took a little effort to get running, and of course the HA bridge emulator worked fantastic for triggering it, however, I then wanted to be able to do more, particularly lock the computer and put the monitors into standby. I wanted to be able to do some simple control, with the light, turn on the speakers and turn on the power connected to the computer (Using a TP-Link WiFi Socket). I have been using the echo since it was released in the UK (I’m in Ireland, still works great).I decided it was time to get an echo dot for the room.
