Wake on Lan
Posted: Sun Jan 20, 2019 7:15 pm
Hi All,
Was struggling with performing WakeOnLan functionality from within Indigo and found something I think is worth sharing.
It starts with the following piece of software, that is my favorite price, free!!!
http://www.readpixel.com/wakeonlan/
Download and install this on your Mac, now use their client software to test and troubleshoot your wake on lan functionality.
Once you get it working, you can then use Apple Script to call this app from within an Indigo Action Group.
Sample script:
tell application "WakeOnLan"
wakeup "192.168.4.135"
end tell
The other nice thing about this software is that I did a network sniff and basically the approach is to try about 6-7 different types of WakeOnLan signals (wonderful thing about standards is that there is so many to choose from). So your chance of getting it working is quite good.
Let me know if you have any questions/concerns, would be glad to help out.
