Windows 10: Sensor/device to trigger Windows event?

I’m looking for a motion/presence sensor that can trigger a Windows event (start/stop a script) - any idea where and how I could find one? Obviously my google powers are sub par and I’d appreciate any recommendations ;-) Thanks a lot!

Trigger Task Scheduler by connection and disconnection of a wireless headphone

Hi Paul,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



We understand that you want to trigger a task in Task Scheduler when you connect headphone to your PC.



We would suggest you to try the steps mentioned below and see if that helps:

1. Connect the headphone to the computer. Now, press
   Windows key + X, and select Device Manager.
   
2. Expand Bluetooth, right click on the
   headphone and select Properties.
   
3. Click on Events tab, you will find 2 events.
   
4. Click on the Device started event and click on
   View All Events.
   
5. An Event Manager window will open, click on
   Attach Task To This Event on the lower right hand side.
   
6. This should provide you the options to create a new task. Select the Actions for the program to be run based on the trigger.
   

Let us know how it goes.

Task Scheduler: task gets triggered by event but does not start

I know a thing or two about the Task Scheduer but so far I am unable to wrap my mind around your problem. Here is why:

• I do not recognise the screen snapshot your posted. What is it?
• What event is supposed to trigger the scheduled task?
• What is the scheduled task supposed to run?
• You write "there is the initial event 108 showing the event getting triggered". How can an event trigger another event?
• Do time-triggered tasks work reliably?
