The receiver..

[andyd]

I ordered a Antec VERIS E-Z without thinking about this. Will be able to use the receiver with a Windows Media Center remote? Or is it limited to just the functions that are on the mini remote that comes with it? I only really purchased it for the receiver and hopes for programming a button to put my HTPC to sleep while also having options that are not on the mini.

Dear andyd,

If you select MCE remote during the initial setup wizard or in iMON Manager>Settings>Remote Controller, you can use MCE remote with Antec VERIS E-Z.

And you can put your system to sleep mode with the remote if you assign power button to “System Standby” or “Hibernate” function in iMON Manager>Settings>Windows Command>Power Management Command tab.

But Antec VERIS E-Z doesn’t support Power-On feature. (Turn on your system or Wake up from sleep mode with the remote)

Thanks Johnny.

I'm still trying to figure out the whole sleep / wake up thing. Is it that the mini just doesn't support it even if the usb ports are still active on the PC when in S3? Is it a driver thing?

I'm looking for something that will work without having to modify my system to fit an IR receiver.

Dear andyd,

Actually iMON is using electronic switching for Power-On feature. It needs the cable connections from Power button on PC case to iMON HW and from iMON HW to main board power pin. And it work as Power button on PC case.

Regret to say, iMON Mini doesn’t support Power-On feature.
