When a viable solution for the PC is identified, implementing it with an Arduino might become a valid question, but not before. | |

| Oct 19, 2017 at 9:37 | comment | added | shinzou | What application did you use? Also, the PC is connected through ethernet to the same router the Wemos is connected to, so it should be possible to send WOL to the address of the pc no? @Majenko | |
| Oct 19, 2017 at 9:30 | comment | added | Majenko | When I wanted to remotely sleep my laptop through WiFi I resorted to installing an application on the PC that listened on a socket. You can't do WoL on WiFi since it relies on an active network connection, which you can't do with a WiFi adaptor. Only Ethernet, and then only on cards that support it. | |
