WOL not same network #68

Hello,

I have install this plugin, I can see temp and shutdown the NAS, but I can't startup it. My NAS is not in my home, I use external IP and MAC address to startup. I think your plugin use only MAC address, it's possible to use also the IP ?

Many thanks !

Since WOL, as far as I know, only works with a MAC address, this is unfortunately not possible. WOL is a broadcast protocol that operates at a level below IP addresses.
