Ok ive found where i can do this. im wanting to use this to send a command key to another pc that runs all me Home Theatre stuff.

in another thread here i learned how to use psexec to send from the HTPC pc to the Server running this activehome pro sofware to control lights when i press play on the htpc system.

im looking to to reverse the process to when a sensor is activated it will send a commang from the server to the htpc and in essense press the space bar on the keyboard.

any ideas what id have to send? im guess it wont be

psexec.exe \\htpc c:windows\spacebar...
