 # HomeAssistantWindowsService
 A windows service to trigger scenes in Home Assistant when the computer is suspended or resumes
+
+This is a small service I created to turn off my monitors when my laptop goes to sleep and turn them back on when it wakes up.
+
+The service uses the OnPowerEvent's ResumeSuspend and Suspent power statuses to trigger scenes with HomeAssistant's REST Api.
+
+#### Installing the Service
+Download the latest release and extract it to a local folder
+
+Open a command prompt or powershell window and use InstallUtil to install the service
+
+C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\InstallUtil.exe -i D:\HAService\HomeAssistantPowerStateService.exe
+
+#### Using the Service
+
+There are four settings you need to update in the HomeAssistantPowerStateService.config file
+
+##### BaseUrl
+The Home Assistant URL
+
+##### Token
+A Long-Lived Access Token (create one from your profile page in Home Assistant) 
+
+##### SuspendScene
+The scene to trigger when the computer is suspended
+
+##### ResumeScene
+The scene to trigger when the computer wakes up
+
+After updating the config file start the service and your scenes should be triggered.
