Command line interface for network wake-up and routing
Command line interface for network wake-up and routing
I need to install parsec on my desktop. The issue is that without turning the computer on, I can't launch the app. Last night I had my girlfriend power it up but now I'm stuck. The only solution I have is setting wake time events, which turns it on when I don’t mean to use it. Also, starting a parsec connection doesn’t trigger a wake-on-lan event. My problem is finding a way to activate a wake timer that responds to user actions instead of scheduled times, so I can log in instantly and wake it whenever I want. I already have Wake on LAN enabled on my network card and believe it in BIOS.
It’s a setup challenge. A local device needs to transmit WOL messages and also listen for external triggers. Preferably it should work round the clock and use minimal power. In fact, I’m using a Raspberry Pi with HomeAssistant running. One of my dashboard widgets sends WOL packets to my main PC, which makes it possible.
