Switch PC wireless on and off
Switch PC wireless on and off
Hello everyone, I'm planning to build a wall-mounted PC and it will be a bit away from my desk. I was thinking about a device that connects to home Wi-Fi and uses the power pins on the motherboard to act like a power button, which could be triggered from a mobile phone. I searched but didn't find anything suitable. An Arduino might work with some coding, but it's expensive and I'm not sure how to program it. If anyone has suggestions or ideas, please share them below!
I noticed a comparable item. It seems to be a Bluetooth gadget. https://www.amazon.com/SilverStone-Techn...B01MQUANS8
I've come across information about wol and discovered that many motherboards don't support it. I'm exploring alternative options, though I'm open to corrections if needed. Regarding an app for your phone, it seems there isn't a universal solution—some brands might have their own tools while others rely on specific software.
Thanks for the reference and the information. It seems like it might be either button or IR controlled; I might have to use that option if there are no alternatives. Appreciate your response!
An ESP8266 can handle this task. Refer to the project on GitHub for details.
