Execute command before sleep

I have a light bulb which I can turn on and off using UDP commands (I already have that working in AutoIt). What I would like to do is run a script before the computer goes to sleep to turn it off, and after it resumes to turn it on. I've already got the latter working, but not the former. I tried Task Scheduler with the kernel power log, but the command doesn't get executed until the computer resumes from sleep. I've tried some things using WM_POWERBROADCAST, but so far I haven't got that to work either. Here's what I've got so far:

Global Const $WM_POWERBROADCAST = 0x218

Global Const $PBT_APMSUSPEND = 0x4
Global Const $PBT_APMRESUMEAUTOMATIC = 0x12

While 1
    Sleep(100)
WEnd

GUICreate("Event Receiver")
GUIRegisterMsg($WM_POWERBROADCAST,"MY_WM_POWERBROADCAST")

Func MY_WM_POWERBROADCAST($hWnd, $uMsg, $wParam, $lParam)
   Switch $wParam
      Case $PBT_APMSUSPEND
         MsgBox(0,"PBT_APMSUSPEND","PBT_APMSUSPEND"&@HOUR&@MIN&@SEC)
      Case $PBT_APMRESUMEAUTOMATIC
         MsgBox(0,"PBT_APMSUSPEND","PBT_APMRESUMEAUTOMATIC"&@HOUR&@MIN&@SEC)
   EndSwitch
EndFunc

Does anyone know how to make this work?

      How to suspend a process for some time
      By ur
      with the below code, I am keeping waiting for a particular file and waiting in the background.
      While $i <> 10 Sleep(60000) If FileExists(@ScriptDir&"\Binaries.ini") then --some processing-- $i = 10 endif WEnd I thought keeping the Sleep will freeze the process from resources but the CPU being uilized.But it is taking 47%.
      How to free this CPU usage also.?

      Notification of the transition to standby or hibernate mode.
      By AndreyS
      Jos suggested in one of the themes the following code:
      #include <WindowsConstants.au3> #include <GUIConstants.au3> #include <Date.au3> Global $PBT_APMSUSPEND = 0x0004 Global $PBT_APMRESUMESUSPEND = 0x0007 Global $PBT_APMSTANDBY = 0x0005 Global $PBT_APMRESUMESTANDBY = 0x0008 Dim $hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 100, 100,1,1) ;You need to work without this line. GUIRegisterMsg($WM_MOUSEWHEEL, "Standby") Func Standby($hWnd, $Msg, $wParam, $lParam) ConsoleWrite(_NowTime() & ": " & $wParam & @LF) Select Case $wParam = $PBT_APMSUSPEND ConsoleWrite(" You going into Suspend." & @LF) Case $wParam = $PBT_APMRESUMESUSPEND ConsoleWrite(" You just woke up from Suspend." & @LF) Case $wParam = $PBT_APMSTANDBY ConsoleWrite(" You are going into Standby." & @LF) Case $wParam = $PBT_APMRESUMESTANDBY ConsoleWrite(" You just woke up from Standby." & @LF) Case Else EndSelect EndFunc My application does not use any windows. It has only a menu in the tray. Tell me, who knows how to make this code work in my case.
      Thank you!

      Pixelchecksum with mouseclick not accurate?
      By lacamel
      Hi there,
      I did a short script to simulate mouse click when pixel change is detected on a small section of the screen. I recorded the screen many times to see the accuracy of the script and it seems though response time varies widely.
      Here's the script 
      $checksum = pixelchecksum (400,250, 402,252)
      While $checksum = pixelchecksum (400,250, 402,252)
      Sleep (50)
      Wend
      Sleep (300)
      Mouseclick("left", 450,300, 1, 0)
      Counting from the pixel change to the mouse click, i get response times anywhere between 370ms and 550ms. I've tried running au3 and exe, changed sleep times but never gotten an accurate response time based on the script. Any ideas why?
