Cannot turn the light off when i shut my PC

tricky11

I would like to make my light off when i shut down my computer. There is an option in the settings. Unfortunately it's not working even i select it. I appreciate it if you can shed a light on this.

Thanks.

The Lights will be switched off if you close jeelight manually.
Shutting down the PC will kill Jeelight. Jeelight cannot detect this.

Thanks a lot. Might be another way of doing that? I see there is no option in jeelight but do you know a way to close jeelight during shutdown? Meanwhile i'll try to do that from scheduled tasks.

It looks like a need to create batch file to run on scheduled basis to perform an exit command from jeelight.

i could not do it. i'm looking forward to have feedback from you about it. Can you help?

Sorry, no solution from my side yet

Is there a command line to close the Jave app in the correct way?

Blueforcer

Wildcard Something like that should kill all java processes
wmic process where "name like '%java%'" delete

Edit: nvm its also a kill command🙂
I will have a look at this the next days

Wildcard

Blueforcer Awesome! :-)

Yes, that does kill the proces but it does not trigger a gracefull shutdown of the app. The lights do not turn off when using this. I'm looking for a way to trigger the exit command that is also used in the app itself so the lights do turn off.

A dirty work around would be to create a second jar file that only sends the "off" command to the lights when started. That jar file could then be trigged when shutting down.

Ive uploaded a new version (2.4). In the Settings you can turn on "Turn Lights off when closing". Then all connected lights will be turned off when you close or kill the app even from taskmanager. Didnt test a windows shutdown now, because im playing games 😉 but should work too.
The bad side is, moving jellight to the tray will not work anymore with this setting. That means if you hit the X, jeelight will be closed

Wildcard

Awesome! It still starts minimized, but I tested it and the lights go off when you close the app but not when its closed by
a shutdown :-(

Wildcard Then I afraid that there is no other way. Even a second program would not work because it does not know the lamps at all. There is no global "all lights off" command. Furthermore you cant connect to the lamp twice in muic mode.
Sorry

Is it not possible to share the config file or something similar between the two apps?

can we get something to go to the tray then? It's way more bothersome (for me at least) that i cannot open the program anymore just because it then stays open. Considering that somehow my network looses connection to the lights every so often that I need to open the app and re-connect to them again, I'd rather have it automatically go to tray rather than having it shut down with windows (again, great thing to have)

can it just not be added a simple button to go to tray anywhere in the ui?
