I’m currently running System Bridge on a couple of Windows PCs for monitoring; I have the HA integration installed, but I’m not finding a way to trigger an event when a monitored PC is restarted.
Is this not something System Bridge can do? Is there a better solution that can do this?
You can do something as simple as just issue a REST API call to Home Assistant to toggle a switch or “press” a button when your computer starts. You could install curl for windows to do it or even just have it send a request on your browser.
That’s how I’m doing it now (a link in the startup folder) but it’s pretty hacky, requires setup on each remote PC, and seems redundant when HA is already “connected” to them through System Bridge. Sounds like I’ll need to switch to something better.
