Turn on your Server from anywhere!
Video write-up
In this video, I'll show you how to configure Wake On LAN, a technology that uses a small packet sent over your network to power on your server or computer, even when it's powered off. I'll also explain how to enable Wake On LAN in both your BIOS and OS, as well as how to send the Magic Packet. Plus, I'll show you how to integrate Wake On LAN into Home Assistant and how to route it across networks.
