Auto stop content sharing if no faces detected

[thombrooks]

We have a group policy on Conference Room PCs which keeps their monitor output enabled all the time, so end users won't be confused when they try to present a sleeping PC and don't see an image without waking it up first.

The trade-off is that the constant signal from the PC (or a Mersive Solstice) keeps the system awake, so it never goes to sleep.

On newer systems which can count faces, I'd like to make a Macro which turns off Content Sharing under the following criteria:

- Not in a call;

- Currently presenting locally;

- No faces detected for arbitrary_fixed_number_of_seconds (user-determined);
  (If a face is detected, reset this counter)

What about systems which can't count faces - is Ultrasonic accurate enough to detect when the room has settled down? If so, is there a command to retrieve that data from a Macro?

Thank you!

Hey @Magnus Ohm - per our chat, here's what I have so far. Wondering if I should simplify this to only consider peoplePresence since my initial testing on a Room Kit system (running ce 9.9.2)  seemed to think there was always one face detected (room was empty, lights out, I was remote). Have others seen that 'false positive' behavior much?  (The camera guys told us there is an 'ignore even a picture of a face if it hasn't moved in ten minutes', so I'm confused about that.) Thank you!
