Wake on Lan [ROOT]

1. Automate Community

Send Wake on Lan packet to boot your PC via ethernet connection.
Automate's wake on lan is rather useless, since most PC need to stay on to keep wifi connected (which killed the whole purpose)
Instead you can configure windows so that ethernet connection will remain on even if PC are shutdown, and use it to boot your windows. If you have a capable android device nearby (android box or smart tv...) with ethernet connection, you can use it to boot PC remotely. (I bought a cheap android box solely for this purpose, worth it)
