I'm hoping someone might be able to help with this conundrum.

I'd like my BI monitor to be able to go into sleep mode, but be waken up by a BI alert.

Obviously the usual way to wake up a monitor (Win 8.1) is to move the mouse or press a key on the keyboard. So I tried a few different macro utilities which have command line options to emulate a keypress and/or mouse movement, and run them as an alert action, but it doesn't work.

Any thoughts or suggestions much appreciated!
