Turn off lights at startup script

[afsilvasantos]

Hi,

Is there any function that allows to disable all lights at startup?

You can call Lighting.SetAllEnabled with first parameter = false. If a script was left running when Windows shutdown, it'll auto-start with Windows as well, so this would have the desired effect.

So a script like this:

Lighting.SetAllEnabled(false)

Ok thanks! That worked out. However i run the script, but when i restart the lights are on again. shouldn't the script run automatically now?

If you ran the script and didn't stop it at any point, it should. I see two options:

• You have some other program turning them on.
• This is another case of bug Apply effects on Windows boot #43.

I have a B450M MB and wanted to disable the lights at startup too. I managed to get it working with this:

Lighting.SetAllEnabled(true)

os.sleep( 500 )

Lighting.SetAllEnabled( false )

I'm not sure which fixed my issue though. Either setting the Lighting.SetAllEnabled to True before disabling OR messing with the service's startup type. I initially set it to Automatic (Delayed Start) but changed it back to Automatic. It's working so far since then.

I updated the scripts to fix this issue. You can see the last comment in #159 (the one with the code example) to see how to apply it to your own code.
