I have configured night mode so that it deactivates toys which are configured as "noisy" in the pinscape-configtool correctly. Meantime that works very well, also in conjunction with PinVol.

But I want also to switch off the audio amplifiers with SFF when night mode is activated (button pressed)

I have tried several- not working- ways, but I don't find a solution for that. Don't want to implement an extra special Relay to toggle the amplifiers on/off when Pinscape already controls the night mode.

  • the idea to use an additional input parallel to the night mode button and an output on the power board, doesn't work because the night mode toggles only devices which are activated (switched on) in that moment.
  • next idea was to switch on the amplifiers by using a batch command (at windows startup f.e.) with pinscapcmd. But nop, pinscapecmd can't switch outputs on/off
  • another idea was to use DirectOutputTest, but this tool crashes after its start with System.TypeLoadException. And I have not enough knowledge to recompile it in VS (al lot of errors, missing modules etc.)

I think pinscape can only toggle the output with night mode which is configued in the this section, but I would need an additional output

now I'm a bit clueless, maybe someone has an idea?
