Add-on Request execute external commands, based on screensaver status - ORasPi - 2018-04-09
I need a plugin that executes after specific amount of time specified within plugin configuration, after screensaver activated.
Also requires another external command to be executed after screensaver deactivated.
e.g
python:def onScreensaverActivated( self ):
self.screensaver_active = True
# sleep for 7 minutes after 3 minutes Dim screensaver kicked in
xbmc.sleep(420000)
# check to see if screensaver is still active, and not deactivated since
if xbmc.getCondVisibility("System.ScreenSaverActive") and self.screensaver_active:
# execute external command, to switch off screen
execute.external.command("vcgencmd display_power 0")
def onScreensaverDeactivated( self ):
self.screensaver_active = False
# execute external command, to switch screen on
execute.external.command("vcgencmd display_power 1")
