Seems like an interesting Plugin for homebridge.

How do I install homebridge-wol?

AlexGustafsson commented 8 years ago

I made this for my self as a test for homebridge, but if it's useful to others I'll be sure to complement the documentation. I'll get right back to you when I'm done.

That would be perfect. Thank you in advance.

I'm having a hard time getting WoL to work on my machines (hardware/software wise, not related to this package) so I cannot currently debug the package. But feel free to look in the source if there's anything you want to know - it should be self explanatory.

To install you run npm install -g homebridge-wol. After that, edit your config.json (usually in /root/.homebridge/config.json to fit your needs. You should see a key called "accessories" and that's where you can add your computer like shown in the README.md

Perfect, thanks a lot.

I'll try the install in the next days.

Works perfect for me. Thank you very much.

I have the following lines added in my config: { "accessory": "Computer", "name": "PC", "mac": "XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX" }
