My setup requires me to manually turn my speakers on and off, I want to automate that.

I got a smart plug, installed python, and the python program that controls the plug

so I can now run a bat file with the line of kasa --alias "speakerplug" off to turn the speakers off, and "...on" to turn on.

When the computer starts or I login, and the computer wakes from sleep: I want the command to turn the speakers on to run
When the computer shuts down and sleeps: i want the command that turns the speakers off to run

I'm finding solutions for each condition, except when I want the command to run when sleep is initiated. I want the computer to be put to sleep by any normal means and turn off the speakers when doing so,

There seems to be a program that only works for Windows XP era systems and doesn't work, and there seems to be a Windows 7 era program, but all download links are broken.

How do I run a command that is automatically triggered when the computer starts to go to sleep, and completes running before the computer goes to sleep?

The OP has also asked this question in Run command BEFORE going to sleep?- TenForums
I think that both OSes behave in the same way and I do not think there is any EventViewer-based solution for running a script before sleeping.

Isn't the turn on script after start/restart/wake from sleep/wake from hibernation sufficient?
Might a combined turn off then turn on script after start/restart/wake from sleep/wake from hibernation be sufficient?

RE: "there seems to be a Windows 7 era program, but all download links are broken".
JFI: "Windows 7 Suspend/Resume Control" is available within the following Codeplex archive, but I have no idea whether it works as desired in Windows 11 or not.


Search for this specific project zip on that page: win7suspendresume.zip

The win7suspendresume.zip project contains the Releases folder with 4 zipped releases, with "49d2ea10-7a2a-4265-81b0-0d8f3eb00d24" being the last one.

That "49d2ea10-7a2a-4265-81b0-0d8f3eb00d24" contains an setup.exe together with an setup.msi file.

pn: Unfortunately, whilst on my VirtualBox Win11 virtual machine, I could install the software/service, the issues I had were :
a) There is no way to trigger a proper sleep/suspend/resume in VirtualBox, so couldn't test any further.
b) All the Program tabs were populated in accordance with what was running in the machine, except the Devices tab which threw the Fault shown (Issue was reported with Windows 10 so presumably the other functions worked in Win10 (?)).

So experiment with caution on a real Win11 machine.

thank you, that program worked. I just wasn't able to find a download. When looking they said that version 1.0.1 is recommended as the version 2 rewrite had bugs so I installed 1.0.1 and it works fine, just had to add it to startup items

this would be nice as a PowerToy feature though
