CIR not working correctly

[dschlic1]

I have an ASRock H77M mother board with the ASRock CIR dongle. This is mounted on an HTPC which I power on and off via my Harmony remote. I had an OS/front end call Openelec loaded on the machine, and the remote was working perfectly. However due to limitations of the software, I loaded Win 7 PRO and Kodi. The HTPC stills turns on and boots up with the command from the remote, however It appears to go into sleep mode rather then the off state on the turn off command. Can someone help me out here?

That's a good question...and is the same thing I get. Have you tried programming a normal Windows shut down in your Harmony? Seems that would be better than a cold shut down anyway.
I was going to set up my Harmony remote for my HTPC a long time ago but instead I'm still using the Asrock remote...

Re: CIR not working correctly

After some testing it appears the in Windows 7 there are two power buttons. One for power and the other for sleep. It appears that when win 7 is up and running the IR code for power toggle is received by the eHome driver and is configured to activate the "Sleep" button. The Sleep button can be set to perform one of three actions: Nothing, Sleep and Hibernate. However it appears that the IR code mapping in eHome can be changed by editing the registry. This will be my next change.
