Yeah WOL was one of the first things I looked for in HA because I just didn’t have all that much in the way of Smart stuff.
Anyway nowadays I have an automation you may like. I have set up a little wireless dock for my phone on my desk. It’s the only wireless charger I use, so using the Companion app sensors (namely the charger type) I have set up an automation that turns on my PC when I dock my phone.
Meaning I literally flop down on my chair and put my phone on the charging stand and the PC turns on.
Now when that PC is picked up on the network HA will turn on my monitor (via a smart plug) and my desk lamp.
I also have a program on the PC that detects what I’m doing, and can switch the PC off!
So I can add switching the PC off to my automations, like my Goodnight automation
