Allow configuration of the WOL broadcast IP address #51

Closed jpts closed 3 years ago

jpts commented 3 years ago

This PR exposes the WOL broadcast IP address option from the python wakeonlan library through a HA configuration variable. This allows users to define a different network segment to target for their WOL packet.

This is useful to me as I am running HA container and do not use host mode networking.

Thanks a lot for that PR.

Just for my understanding.

You would then configure your broadcast address to be something like 192.168.1.xxx instead of it trying to broadcast to your container internal network? Can you give one example? Just curious
