I have 3 monitors and they all have capacitive touch buttons to turn them on. I want to make a master button that touches all three of them at the same time. I tried just taking a wire and taping it ot the button and touching it but that did not work. How do I trick it? I dont want to take apart the monitors because they were expensive and I am a noob.
the only way you're going to do this is by taking apart the monitors. The two terminals on your master switch need to connect to each of the two terminals where the individual ON buttons are.

go to a butchers and get some pig skin
get a long piece of wood to reach all buttons, hinge it to your desk and attach pig skin where the buttons are
I heard french fries work on capacitive touchscreens and sensors.
Ground it.
there are gadgets that you can use to do this for you. i just got a used Rocketfish RF-PCS7ES power outlet for a few bucks. it has a master outlet and 4 slave outlets. when you turn on the device connected to the master, the 4 slaves come on, and the same when you power down.

>power strip with controlled outlets
>doesnt understand monitors dont come on when you plug them in unless you push the power button which requires your fucking finger
>>963476
you're retarded. OP wants to push one button instead of three. the bar does what OP wants.
>>963484
Not for turning them on.
>>963484
OP here. Powering them doesnt make them turn back on. The button has to be touched.

Oh, I have 3 monitors, 2 NECs and a Dell, and they all remember their power state when you unplug them. if they were ON, they turn back ON when power is restored.

If you power them off while they are on, do they turn on again when you power them back up? Every monitor I have ever encountered works this way.
>>963491
Mine do too.
Have a UPS backup, when I shut my computer down the UPS senses it and shuts off all the other outlets.
I have 3 matching Asus monitors now, and they all do it. Before I got them I had a BenQ, and LG, and a shitty westinghouse. They all turned back on when the power came back up

Tape some foil to the button. Attach wire, ground wire when you want to press button.
