Can you not just add a TP link power port and bar it dream screen. Then connect the TP link outlet with Alexa and bam... ask Alexa to turn on/off dream screen. $29.99 workaround

Bryan, does the DreamScreen remember its last state when power is cut? If it doesn't, this won't work.
Plus, it is the very definition of a Kludge, even if it works.
That said, I may try it as lately the Bluetooth has been so flaky I've had to manually turn it on several times. Probably a result of having a home saturated with electrical interference from competing devices.

Yes, it does remember that.
Im using a master/slave outlet for the living room, so each time the receiver turns on, the DS will turn on, too.

I learned it when I bought something called a "kludge kit" based on Jerry Pournelle's recommendation many years ago. It was a small leather case filled with things that were actually useful at a job site. No soldering iron or other useless items. Instead, it had a small roll of duct tape and some packets of two-part epoxy glue along with some other useful items like a screwdriver that did not include odd tips for specific jobs. It was designed by an engineer for other engineers. I still have it, and have used parts of it at times when I just want to get the job done. It isn't available anymore, sadly. I strongly suspect it was made in someone's garage. Whoever he is, he should go on Shark Tank right now and earn the money he has earned. Sean |

Finally got around to connecting my DreamScreen to a WeMo Sense power switch I had lying around. I programmed it to come on with the television using my Logitech Harmony remote, and it works great! I wish I had done it earlier.
Only snag is when watching something other than the main HDMI input that goes through the DreamScreen. In that case, I just leave it off. Would be better to switch it to a fixed color, but that can only be done from the app, which I find only sometimes works due to general Bluetooth flakiness. For now, I mostly just leave it off in those cases.

I broke the cardinal rule of posting to forums and I didn't check the other rooms for what I was looking for. Anyhow, It looks like they've added it? or at least are close? DreamScreen comes up as a Manufacturer (I assume this is new?) but I can't find the device model number anywhere - I tried 'Xtreme' - no luck. I've posted here about it as well: dreamscreen.boards.net/thread/215/harmony-universal-remote-support |

Sean Rest In Peace Mr. Pournelle (I just learned of his passing (happened last month) and recalled your story and how I read up on him because of your fun story and use of a great word. He was a truly remarkable man) |

"We plan to release a device later this year to meet customer demand for integrating DreamScreen with home automation technology."
Any idea about the date ?
I'm from France, will it works in my country ?
