Turn on your pc using Google assistant voice commands. For this to work you have to use IFTTT (site or app) and PushBullet (app).

Here follows the tutorial:

- 1st step: go to you pc bios and search for "AC power loss" and set to last state, and then look for "wake on PCI-E/PCI" (this options might be different depending on your bios, but they all say something similar) and set to enabled.

-2nd step: open your control panel on your pc network settings > network and share > change adapter settings. Right click on ethernet (your pc has to be connected to the internet via cable, wi-fi will not do) and click configure. Than go to power management and make sure all boxes are checked. Also, in the advanced tab, verify if there is any Wake on Lan option, if there is than activate it.

-3rd step: go to the IFTTT website and log in with your Google account. Create a new applet and click in "This". Look for Google and choose "Google assistant V2" and then click "activate scene". Then write the command you wanna give to turn your pc on. To finish the applet click on "Then" and search for Pushbullet (log in with your Google account, when you install the app on your phone do the same), than click "push a note". Let the title be, and in the next text box, bellow "message" write "WOL_PC" (you can use other thing really, but you would have to change this flow too). Also, in the drop-downs below choose "anyone" and "eliminate" respectively.

-4th step: download this flow, add your physical address (mac address) to the "wake on Lan" block (you can get this address by opening the CMD in your computer and typing "ipconfig/all"), and finally start the flow.

-Last step: with your pc turned off give the command to the Google assistant and voilĂ , your pc is on
