For ease of future reference, I am posting the instructions for using the Hauppauge remote to sleep/wake SageTV, along with a sample basic irremote.ini file that has the default commands assigned to the remote's buttons when SageTV is installed.
To use the Hauppauge remote to sleep & wake SageTV, edit your irremote.ini file (in your Windows directory).
In the
[Default] section, set:
GRNPOWER={run(C:\Progra~1\FreyTe~1\SageTV\SageTV.exe)}{mode(SageTV)}
In the
[SageTV] section, set:
GRNPOWER={ctrl}z{mode(Default)}
* Don't forget to modify the path to your SageTV directory if it is different. Be sure to use the short file/folder names in the path to SageTV.exe; irremote.ini doesn't seem to like spaces in its lines.
* There is more than one Sage-related section in the ini file; make sure to edit the correct one.
* Remember to restart the IR control program.
* Be sure to use the remote to put SageTV to sleep, instead of the main menu's Sleep command, or else the remote will be thrown out of sync.
You will now be able to use the green power button at the top of the remote to put SageTV to sleep & wake it up again.

Edit: I put this in the first post, above, but I suppose it really belongs here... There is now another thread regarding enabling control of SageTV with the Hauppauge remote software, even when SageTV doesn't have focus:
How to control SageTV w/o focus (mostly Hauppauge remote). That thread has the same basic ini file as the attachment in this post, except that it controls SageTV via Windows messages instead of keystrokes. So, check them both out to see which you prefer. (
Post #15 of that thread contains the latest ini versions.)
Edit: If you have a problem using the number keys on your remote, you may wish to edit irremote.ini and change all the "{numpad#}" style commands to just "#", changing "{numpad1}" to just "1" for example. (w/o the quotes, of course!)
Oct-28-2004 Update: A basic configuration file for the new 45-button Hauppuage remote has been attached. The new zip file contains a custom irremote.ini file for that remote, a readme file, and an Excel file listing all commands, their event codes, and the button layouts for the old and new remotes. This is not an official layout from Frey, so if they release a different command layout, I'll update these files. Also attached is an image ofthe new remote showing the command assignments.
Aug-8-2005 Update: A new attachment, SageCommandsv3.zip, contains the commands that SageTV v3 adds to irremote.ini during installation. To add these commands manually, edit irremote.ini in your Windows directory and copy the lines from SageCommnds.ini to the end of irremote.ini. Restart ir.exe and select your Hauppauge remote in Detailed Setup -> Commands -> Remote Control Config. In addition, if it isn't there already, you will have to add the line "sagetv=" (w/o quotes) in the [applications] section of the ini file.
