Hey everyone,

I'm looking for a way to turn on and off my light when i'm using the pc
Is there an integration or something to "watch" what i'm doing on my pc ?

I didn't do a PC but my 3d printer, I have a power monitoring plug on 3d printer, if it pulling over 50 watts I have it change color of bulb yellow, when it drops below it turns green. Letting me know print job is done. HA also can see my TV, turn light off when TV is on and turn light on when TV is turned off. I am new at this too, maybe is there is a 'integration' that can see the PC, I see routers are listed.

My last try is: - platform: mqtt name: "Brunt-Win10" state_topic: EventGhost/BRUNT-WIN10/sta...

If you're looking for a way to determine what you're doing on your computer (and not just being powered on), take a look at HASS.Agent.
