hi everyone

Airytec Switch Off

Shutdown your PC automatically or remotely from any computer or mobile phone.

What is Switch Off?

Switch Off is a lightweight easy-to-use tray-based system utility that could automatically shutdown, suspend or hibernate your system. This could cut your electricity bills and save the Environment by lowering your PC power consumption. It could also disconnect dial-up and VPN connections to cut your internet service bills as well. Build-in operation set could be easily extended by adding your own scripts. Automation options allows you to schedule all operations daily, weekly, past specified time or when PC becomes idle.

Utility has user-friendly intuitive interface designed to seamlessly integrate into your Vista or Windows 7 system and to provide quick access to all operations through the system tray icon. Simple password protected Web interface allows you to initiate operations remotely from any computer or mobile (cell) phone with web browser installed. Utility features small system and resource requirements, needs no additional frameworks or libraries to operate, works when either user is logged on or not, available as full and portable versions.

Download Airytec Switch Off

After installing Airytec Switch Off, run the program, right click on the tray icon at the notification area and select Options. Go to Remote tab and click the Edit web interface settings button followed by accepting the UAC prompt. Again go back to the Remote tab, and click on the “Enable web interface” checkbox. By default it uses port 8000 and it is advisable to set a password for the username “User”. Click OK to save the settings. You will need to allow the program through Firewall or else you won’t be able to access the web interface.




To shut down the remote computer that you’ve just configured, simply launch the web browser from other computer and enter the URL http://ComputerName:8000 in the address bar. You will need to change the ComputerName with the name that is set on the computer or alternatively specify the internal IP address. You will be prompted to enter a username and password to access the webpage. The username is “User” without the quotes and the password is what you’ve entered earlier at the Remote tab. Once you get in the Airytec Switch Off page, simply click on any commands that you want to perform the actions on the remote computer.



Once you’ve enabled the Remote feature, Airytec Switch Off will automatically install itself as a service to run during Windows startup. Although they have portable builds for 32 and 64-bit systems, the remote functions are only available in the full installer version. Airytec Switch Off is free and has successfully tested on Windows 7 32-bit.


In order to shutdown the remote computer with Voxcommando the scrape command is used:

scrape http://localhost:8000/?action=System.Shutdown

replace localhost with the computer name or ip address of the remote computer.

below is the xml that I use to remotely shutdown one of my computers with a voice command.
