Do you have the screenshot working and idletime working fine?
Hi Alex,
Thanks for the update! I’ll build some logic to monitor if idle time is increasing & audio is not playing to see if this is a reliable way to determine if display is off.
Same issue here
Yes, all of the windows-monitor sensors work correctly.
Can you see the IOTLinkService AND the IOTLinkAgent on your computer task manager? I’m asking because as you report that screenshot and idle time are working fine (these are the sensors which need the agent), notifications should be working fine as it just pushes the xml to windows…
Also, can you try killing the agent, waiting about 30 seconds to it start again and reconnect, and then try again?
Yes, both IOTLinkService and IOTLinkAgent show as running in Task Manager. I killed and restarted as you suggested but no joy. The log snippet that I sent earlier shows:
OnNotifyMessage: Message received
so IOTLink gets the request but then is not displaying the notification.
Sorry to be a pain.
thanks
Hi alexslx,
I hope you can help. I am running Hass.io
I am having some problems, I followed your instructions but may have made some errors to get it working correctly as I am fairly new to Hass.io
The problem I have is I cannot see the sensors or binary_sensors in my entities list in developer tools - states that I want to use.
Thanks
Update:
I reinstalled the MQTT broker and set ACL as instructed in the docs
I can now see the binary_sensors and sensors, however the binary_sensor.corsair_connected shows Disconnected and all the other sensors show as Unavailable.
How can I proceed to troubleshoot this problem? Any help is greatly appreciated
Thanks
Update:
Problem Solved.
Just for reference for any new user like me. This might be something to try when setting up the MQTT Mosquitto broker Add On ( this is where my problem was)
In the MQTT Mosquitto broker Add On Config I used a different NEW user and password different from my HA Admin account and set “anonymous”: false, and “active”: false,
For the more experienced users of HA this probably seemed very obvious.
Thanks, Alex for this great addition to my HA.
I got the same issue i think. Both are shown in the taskmanager. killing and restarting did not help. and the logs show the OnNotifyMessage aswell. But no notification is displayed.
When the notify feature was introduced in i think version 1.2 i tested it and it worked fine. I tried using that version again with no luck either. I also cannot think of any changes to windows i made which can affect this.
im running windows version 1809.
Let me know if there is anything i can do to help fix this?
Unfortunately I’m really unable to replicate the notification bug.
I’m running latest version of Windows 10, 1903.
I am running Windows 10 Home Version 1803, Build 17134.885
Ok the solution for me was updating to 1903. I just did that and without changing anything it now just works again 
Hi Alex,
I have everything working now, except both the User and CPU Usage shows as unknown.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Just found it in the release notes DOH!

I’ve also done this and it fixed notifications. 
I also updated to Windows 1903 and it fixed the problem with Notifications.
Thanks for a very useful program!
OK, the Notifications are now showing but everytime that I send 1 notification Windows shows it twice.
This happens when I publish in either in HA or MQTT Explorer.
Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?
Can you check if you have one or two IOTLinkAgent running under your account in the task manager? I had this around 1.2.x but this error disappeared without me changing anything.
There are two services, but only one of them is IOTLink Agent.
IOT Link
IOT Link - Agent
thx
It should be OK than. You might have retained message or something like that. Try to restart the service and check if it is stills sending double message.
I always see a big difference between proccessor usage reported by taskmanager and IOT Link. Taskmanager shows always like 10% - 15% more than IOT Link. I saw this happen with every version of IOT Link.
For example my proccesor usage according to taskmanager is 38% and it is stable arround this percentage it’s not dropping to the twenty’s but IOT Link shows 23%.
Is this expected, or can i not compare the 2 for some reason?
My proccessor is Intel Core i9-9900K
