Wake On Lan

MR-Webb

About this app

Easily wake up computers from your phone/tablet!

* For this app to work, you need to make sure that your computer and network is set up for and supports Wake On Lan / WOL *

Automation
------------------------------
Automate waking up your computers by sending an intent broadcast from apps such as Llama and Tasker!
In the latest version there is now support for Tasker plugins to make it even easier to automatically wake devices.
Instructions on how to do this are available in the latest version of the app under the help section.

Quick Feature List
------------------------------
* Groups
* Network Search (Find devices on your network and add them to your list. No more finding out MAC addresses etc!)
* One touch wakeup widget for both devices and groups (A widget with online status is coming soon)
* Tasker plugin
* Intent Broadcast support (See instructions inside app help section for details on this)
* CSV Import/Export - So you can share your list of devices easily!
* Material Design (Taking suggestions on this!)
* Auto-Refreshing Device Online Status (Using both ports and ping)
* Supports Wake On Lan(WoL) and Wake On Wan(WoW)
* SecureOn

For WoW, just set the broadcast address to be the remote IP address of the device. This may require some extra setup on the remote network to make sure that the wakeup packets actually arrive on the remote device.

If you're trying to wake up a device that is connected via WiFi it may not work, there's not many WiFi cards that support the WOL standard. WOL works best via an ethernet connection. Some devices such as laptops may not support WOL very well or at all. Some might only work when they are in sleep mode, and others might allow you to turn it on when it is powered off.

Permission Details
---------------------------------
Photos/Media/Files/USB Storage - This is used for reading/writing CSV files to your internal storage so that you can copy your list of devices to other devices easily.

Network/WiFi - This is so that the app can actually send the magic packets to wake up your devices. It is also used in the network search screen and for pinging devices to see if they are online.

Ratings and reviews

If you need a WoL app, just get this one. Works every time, clean ad-free interface, and easy to set up. You can group multiple devices together to wake them all simultaneously, and it also includes widgets to wake from your home screen. Note: If you are new to WoL, you need to enable the BIOS/UEFI of each device to wake from LAN, usually under PCI(e) settings. Then add a new device and copy the MAC and IP address of the device you are using into the app. Done! :)

Been using this app for years and it's working great! The only small point of criticism that I can think of is that the 1x1 widgets that display the online status of a device and act as wake-up buttons at the same time do not refresh their status even after several hours. Edit: fixed by setting the app's battery mode to "unrestricted" from "optimized". With "optimized" it did not work even though the app was shown as running in background.

This app is great. Does everything that I need. Using port forwarding on my router I was able to turn on my PC via this app remotely (outside my network). But please, could you make at least a confirmation like "do you really want to turn on this pc?". Many times I've woken up my PC by accidentally clicking it, it's not really fun when you're far from home and have to RDP to the PC to shut it off...
