Description
* For this app to work, you need to make sure that your computer and network is set up for and supports Wake On Lan / WOL *
Automation
------------------------------
Automate waking up your computers by sending an intent broadcast from apps such as Llama and Tasker!
In the latest version there is now support for Tasker plugins to make it even easier to automatically wake devices.
Instructions on how to do this are available in the latest version of the app under the help section.
Quick Feature List
------------------------------
* Groups
* Network Search (Find devices on your network and add them to your list. No more finding out MAC addresses etc!)
* One touch wakeup widget for both devices and groups (A widget with online status is coming soon)
* Tasker plugin
* Intent Broadcast support (See instructions inside app help section for details on this)
* CSV Import/Export - So you can share your list of devices easily!
* Material Design (Taking suggestions on this!)
* Auto-Refreshing Device Online Status (Using both ports and ping)
* Supports Wake On Lan(WoL) and Wake On Wan(WoW)
* SecureOn
For WoW, just set the broadcast address to be the remote IP address of the device. This may require some extra setup on the remote network to make sure that the wakeup packets actually arrive on the remote device.
If you're trying to wake up a device that is connected via WiFi it may not work, there's not many WiFi cards that support the WOL standard. WOL works best via an ethernet connection. Some devices such as laptops may not support WOL very well or at all. Some might only work when they are in sleep mode, and others might allow you to turn it on when it is powered off.
Permission Details
---------------------------------
Photos/Media/Files/USB Storage - This is used for reading/writing CSV files to your internal storage so that you can copy your list of devices to other devices easily.
Network/WiFi - This is so that the app can actually send the magic packets to wake up your devices. It is also used in the network search screen and for pinging devices to see if they are online.

4 ★ Just missing a dark theme for the 5th star there it's a bit bright. Other than that, great app thanks. Works well over OpenVPN so I can turn the test server on while I'm away. This allows me to save hardware life and energy. Thank you, please add a dark theme and I'll change to 5 stars 😛
5 ★ Love the widget option but more so I love the tasker integration, has allowed me to setup being able to turn on my pc by asking my Google home.
5 ★ Easy setup, no ads, and no unnecessary permissions. Thank you!
5 ★ It does wake up my server everytime I hit wake and the only problem I found was that the widget shows the device is offline all the time even when it is actually powered on.
4 ★ Veri nice app, but the bigger widget that lets you see the status of the machine is cut on the side, it would be nice if it has the dimensions of an app icon like the other one.
5 ★ Happy customer here. It works flawlessly and always worked; I've been testing it for over several months, always to wake up completely powered off home server, so I don't have to walk down the stairs all the time or keep it always on. I especially like the network device scanner, it found my server and its MAC address automatically and its network name; no need to enter it anything manually.
5 ★ Simple and clean interface, no ads or other junk, does the job as it's meant to be. Only thing I could wish for is a dark mode.
5 ★ Works great, with an intuitive interface. FYI for other users, initially when testing the app internally on my LAN, the message wasn't being received by the target machine. This was due to my phone sending the messages through my cell network, instead of to my WiFi, because I had set my WiFi Calling to "Cellular Preferred". This can be resolved by activating airplane mode and then turning-on WiFi, or by setting WiFi Calling to "WiFi Preferred". This is probably obvious to most people but initially misled me into thinking my PC config was incorrect. Another FYI, is that 2 different machines of mine had the default MS-installed driver for the "Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller" which prevented WOL from working. This was solved by downloading the latest driver directly from Realtek.
5 ★ This app is great. Does everything that I need. Using port forwarding on my router I was able to turn on my PC via this app remotely (outside my network). But please, could you make at least a confirmation like "do you really want to turn on this pc?". Many times I've woken up my PC by accidentally clicking it, it's not really fun when you're far from home and have to RDP to the PC to shut it off...
3 ★ Not working for me I'm afraid! Detects my desktop says everything OK! But pc does not wake, I've enabled everything known to man, I can use my Bluetooth keyboard to wake it but nothing with WiFi, have given up!
5 ★ I am a Plex user and wanted an android app that could wake up my Plex server from the internet, where my Plex server sits behind 2 routers. Had already addressed the "double NAT" issue setting up Plex. Took several tries to get this to work with the app. You have to enable the wake up on lan features on your network card in windows. And in your sever bios. My bios had a setting under Advanced - Advanced power mgmt -power on by PCIE/PCI. That was key. Then the app worked with default setup when connected to the wifi router only. To get it to work from Internet had to change the BROADCAST IP in the App to be the PUBLIC IP address of the server, which you can find by googling "what is my public IP". You will have to set your server up with a STATIC assigned local IP address from your router, so it doesn't change. then you will need to set PORT FORWARD rules for port 9 from the initial router in your home to any subsequent router IP addresses you have down to your servers router, and on that forward port 9 to your static server IP. The forward rules need to be UDP, or both TCP and UDP. My routers defaulted to TCP rules, and that did not work. Needed the rules to be UDP.
3 ★ Scan devices doesn't work properly, I have 40+ devices on the lan, but it can only find 5 of them. Tried slow mode as well, no improvement. Also needs progress bar to indicate scanning.
4 ★ When using this for WoW-LAN it seems to work fine when waking from sleep mode but, as expected, it does not work when waking from s4 (hibernate) or s5 (soft-off) states, even though my motherboard supports WoL on s5 (although I've heard that Windows no longer supports WoL on s4/s5 anyway). I haven't tried it with a wired connection because my router is downstairs and I cba moving it. It probably wouldn't work anyway thanks to Windows being Windows.
5 ★ Dose not work all the time. NOTE TO DEV. I Will change my review in time. Issue happend when I was swaping Ram, so downloaded your app when PC was off at power supply. So when power is restored a WOL packet will FAIL UNTIL the system is fully booted and shut down. Power must exist from power supply to motherboard or it fails, must be stored settings on the network card. Initial manual power up and shut down is required. Must issue a notice to user.
5 ★ Just use it on my home network to turn on my PC, the power button is awkward to get to.
