Wakes a computer on a LAN by sending a broadcast to the subnet. Update WOL flow object to contain the ip of your subnet (will be the same as the local ip address of your computer except ending in zero, usually 192.168.0.0 or 192.168.1.0 or 10.0.0.0) and the MAC address of the computer to wake (letters should be capitalized). Also make sure wake on lan is enabled in the network adapter's properties in the device manager and in the bios (if applicable) of the target computer and make sure the correct port, usually 7 or 9, is set in the wake on LAN object in the flow. Flow can be used with a widget if desired. Custom icons for automate widgets are available at www.iconspedia.com assuming you are using an automate flow beginnings shortcut style widget and have a custom android launcher like GoLauncher or an app like Icon Changer from the app store that allows you to change shortcut icons.
