HDMI status monitoring

[essand]

Looking for a way to remotely monitor whether the PC display is on or off.

Hardware: Win PC, HDMI cable, typically LG/Samsung TV.

First step is to find a software to monitor if TV is on or off.
Second will be to get an email alarm when TV for some reason is turned off.

If someone could build this function I'm willing to pay for it.

Interesting:

May need to do some "testing" first:

1) While up and running turn the monitor on and off a few times.

2) Go into Event Viewer and see what corespondingerrors (error codes) were logged while the monitor was powered on and off. (Error Code 22 perhaps.)

3) Then you would set up a Powershell loop to check for that error and if found then open the email app and send the email.

If the error is not found then loop and check again.

Much over simplified.

Maybe just have the loop initially sound a beep or something if the error is found. Once you have the overall logic and code in place then the email transmission can be worked in.
