To get Apple Watch commands and control the power, I need a specific chip called an IC. This IC acts like a toggle switch for the power supply unit (PSU). If the switch is off, my app sends a command that turns the PSU down so everything stops working. If the switch is on, the app sends a command to turn the PSU up and start working again. Once the watch gets that "Power Ok" signal from me, it shows a message saying "Power Ok".

You do the opposite here. The watch tells the plug when to turn ON or OFF. The BIOS turns the system back on when it sees a signal from the wall. Here is how you set up your computer so it powers up automatically after a power outage. In this guide, I will teach you exactly what steps to take to make sure your computer starts again when the electricity goes out for good. This tip can be very helpful for people at www.wintips.org

I assumed I needed to use the watch to manage the power on setting for my device.

Why bother complicating life when a simple solution works better?
