JetKVM doesn't wake PC from sleepΒ #120

I'm using JetKVM to setup a new Dell OptiPlex Micro 7020
I already know about the issue where keyboard and mouse are not detected by bios/firmware (of the pre-boot environment)

New issue I wasn't able to find a issue raise on is that JetKVM will not wake my sleeping PC.

Symptom are that JetKVM will show USB connected but no HDMI input.

Troubleshooting on a sleeping PC:

  • JetKVM web ui will load and
  • present user with USB in Connected state
  • shows user "No HDMI signal detected."
  • clicking on the screen output region will not wake the PC
  • pressing keyboard keys in the screen output region will not wake the PC
  • using Virtual keyboard to send keystrokes or keystroke combinations will not wake the PC
  • enabling "Jiggler" after the PC is in sleep mode will not wake the PC

What has worked to wake the PC:

  • using a separate, already connected, 3rd party external keyboard/mouse connected to the sleeping PC will wake the PC
  • rebooting JetKVM via Web Terminal and using the Virtual Keyboard will wake the PC (but not native keyboard/mouse inputs to the screen output region)
  • if attempting to wake a sleeping PC within seconds of it sleeping via JetKVM, it will wake with Virtual Keyboard inputs.

App: 0.3.5-dev202501291218
System: 0.2.0

What I'd like to see is that keyboard and mouse inputs from JetKVM continue to be sent to the PC regardless of HDMI input status. Although I'm not sure if it is or isn't at this stage...
