The above image contains, all I need to turn on and off my Panasonic projector.

The top Send PJLink actor will power on the projector (this will only work when the bottom Send PJLink actor returns Zero, as seen)The middle PJLink actor will turn off the projectorAnd the bottom PJLink actor is there to check the power status. It returns 2 while the projector is in cool down mode, and can not be turned back on.

My laptop and my projector are both plugged into my router.

My Laptop is connected using DHCP (so it get a dynamic IP address).
The projector has had DHCP turned off and I have defined a static IP address of 192.168.000.208
In the projectors network setup I also needed to add my gateway and mask, 192.168.0.1 and 255.255.255.0 respectively.
I also am not using a password on the projector at this time.

Once you setup the IP on the projector, I suggest using Terminal and ping the projector to ensure it is seen on the network.
To ping, open Terminal, and type "ping -c 5 " followed by your IP address...
eg: ping -c 5 192.168.000.208

I hope this helps you move forward. Let me know if you hit any roadblocks.

Many thanks. 

I must say, I do find it fascinating where you delve into user actors created by people who know what they are doing. Brilliantly simple yet I would not have come with that.

This is fantastic. I did not believe there would be that level of detail but mainly thought there was actor named oddly (to me) that would achieve this.

Thanks again.

Very much appreciated.

Hi there Taly!

So for formatting strings we can use the actor "Text Formatter". Double click on the actor and a little window will open, in that window we can use the P (for parameter) followed by an index starting from 1 to say what parameter we wish to use.

So let's say we have the text

"command=hello world"

and we wish to change the text after the = to do so we use the following.

"command=" P1

If we now press OK, mutate the input of the param 1 to text (simply connect an trigger text to it) we now see that when we change the Trigger Text input / trigger it that the output of the Text Formatter changes.
