(To understand the rest of the fields read the "Advanced Features" Section in this post)
Use Basic rules or any other rules or automation apps to automate the boot-up of your PC. The device you added will be visible as a switch, turning the switch on boots up the PC, (other commands: "wake" and "push" do the same, off doesn't do anything)
IP address - if an IP is not provided, the wake-up signal will be sent inside your own LAN network only. If you want to wake up a pc on another network you'll need to provide the device's IP address.
Port - The default port is 7 and it should work fine. if it doesn't try using port 9 or 0
SecureOn Code - Certain NICs support a security feature called "SecureOn". It allows users to store within the NIC a hexadecimal password of 6 bytes. Example: "EF4F34A2C43F"
I tried it but it didn't work for me (it uses the default function which did not boot my pc, my solution is implementing WOL without using it) and also it doesn't allow you to make advanced automation unless you create a virtual switch
Hi @daniel5,
In order for WOL to work your devices need to support it and usually, you need to enable it.
I don't think ps5 supports it.
i seems like the ps has a wake function but it is not the usual WOL protocol
Is there a way to make the child device turn off automatically? When using inside the hubitat app click "on" does not work. I have to go inside the hub and press on or wake on the device itself.
Looking at the drivers code I can see that its already a momentary device but for whatever reason the "devices" tab in the hubitat app sees it as a bulb. I ended up just using the button template in a dash board instead works just fine. Thank you @gilshallem for making a WOL for those of us who put our hubs in different vlans
This works great for turning on my QNAP NAS! I have the NAS set to automatically shut down five minutes after my UPS switches to battery. Hubitat then uses this to turn it back on when the power is restored after checking that the voltage at the wall is correct (in case of brown out).
I love this App! I've had some trouble with my Smart TV. It kept dropping out of my WLAN, so I decided to put it directly onto the LAN. So far so good, but now my GH stopped turning it on, because it wasn't in my WLAN, so it couldn't find it...
Everything else worked, as soon as I turned it on, using my remote. Using this App I quickly created the WOL-device (took about 1 minute), then a virtual switch and another 30 sec. for the HE rule.
Then I forwarded the virtual switch to my GH, typed the routine, so that the TV can be turned on using voice command and voilà! Now everything works just perfect. A big “Thank You” to @gilshallem for this wonderful App!
Installed this app to enable my Samsung TV to be turned on via Alexa voice command. Works great with the Samsung. I also set up my Apple TV on the same network for WakeOnLan with its MAC address. Unfortunately I can’t get the Apple TV to wake in response to the app request. I have tried ports 7, 9 and 0 without success.
Any ideas why this app would not work on an Apple TV?
Per this bug report, I'd like to bring your attention to a minor (but repeatable) issue uncovered in WakeOnLan, which can cause its Child Device(s) to disappear.
It allows you to wake/boot your PC's up from the hub using any automation app you want.
