Backstory

Im trying to use a raspberry pi in conjunction with homebridge to wake a windows 10 PC but despite my best attempts it doesnt seem to work. I feel I may be missing something. Does the windows PC need to have some sort of WOL software running on it as well?

I enabled 'Allow this device to wake the computer' and 'Only allow a magic packet to wake the computer' for the Ethernet Adapter in Device Manager. I also enabled WOL in my BIOS advanced power management.

When I flip the switch on my iphone using homekit the switch will turn on and off but nothing happens to my PC. Also the switch does not accurately reflect if my PC is on or off despite having included my mac address in config.json file

Issue

This is the 2nd plugin for homebridge I am attempting. The first one works great so I think I have the installation of homebridge done ok. Homebridge is set to auto start using pm2. For this plugin I followed the installation to the best of my ability.

Based on the instruction these are the 3 commands I thought I needed to run:

sudo npm install -g homebridge-wol

sudo setcap cap_net_raw=pe /usr/bin/node

sudo apt-get install samba samba-common

Environment

Configuration

My configuration looks like this:

NOTE: I AM GOING TO KEEP THE MAC ADDRESS BUT CHANGE IT A BIT BECAUSE I WANT TO KNOW IF MAYBE MY PROBLEM IS A FORMATTING ISSUE.

Log

When I follow these steps:

  1. Run DEBUG=* homebridge
  2. Let it run for five minutes
  3. Tap a switch
  4. Wait one minute
  5. Tap the same switch

I get the following log:

Notes

From what I read I thought that with this configuration I would be able to turn on my computer as well as see if it is on or off. I dont think I will be able to turn off my computer because I did not include my username and password in the shutdown command.

I am also not sure if the reason this is not working is because of what was mentioned in the instructions about how I "may or may not need to run net rpc with sudo." I didnt know what I am supposed to do with this command since when I type it into the raspberry pi it brings a bunch of options.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks!

Well, if it works it works, but I haven’t tried your exact format of the MAC address. Usually I go with AA:BB:CC... However, I use a package to handle WoL which requires the MAC address so I never control the format in the plugin itself.

Is everything working fine now?

mrjcohen commented 5 years ago

It’s really weird, it worked one time and hasn’t worked ever since. I tried resetting everything and even restarted from scratch with a fresh install on my raspberry pi and re-installing and configuring everything but had no luck. The reason I wrote the mac address without any ‘:’ is because of a comment someone else made.

I’ll have to play around with it more today.

@drwoodcomb Did you make any progress?

mrjcohen commented 5 years ago

Hi,

Sorry for the late reply. It sort of works.. If I put my computer to sleep manually in windows and then us WOL to wake it up it will work. Then if I shutdown my computer manually in windows and then use WOL to turn on the computer it will work.

It doesn't work unless my computer has been put to sleep one time prior to trying to use WOL to wake it back up or turn it on.

So if my computer has been shutdown twice in a row then WOL doesn't work.

I hope that explanation makes sense. Its a bit confusing to write it out.

I think this is some weird problem with my computer and most likely not with your plugin. Maybe I need to contact my motherboard manufacturer (ASUS) and see if they screwed something up with their BIOS. Thanks for asking and I really appreciate the work you've done creating this plugin.

@drwoodcomb You have to disable the Windows 10 Fast-Boot option in order to get it to work with your onboard LAN device. Yeah, took me a good few days to figure that out.

mrjcohen commented 5 years ago

Wow, thanks elMuddin. I would have never figured that out. It works now! I can finally "impress" my friends with the nerdiest way in the world to turn on my computer.

AlexGustafsson commented 5 years ago

@elMuddin Thanks for resolving the issue! I will add a note on that in the readme to help new users.
