Comment on Got myself some energy monitoring Zigbee plugs and made an interesting discovery

I had a similar revelation. Home assistant has a WOL component, so you can set that up for easy starts. I’ve had mixed success with mechanisms to get HA to sleep the computer, though.

Ideally I want the machine to be sleeping I’d I’m not using it.

I use Kasm for remote access, I believe that has a WOL component as well. I haven’t set it up as such, but I plan to later on.

  If you get a reliable way to sleep a windows machine via MQTT (not sure if that’s a route you’d take) but I’d be super interested in hearing about it.

    I use HASS.agent to help manage my Windows desktop and expose various sensors to HA. It can suspend or hibernate the system. It does use MQTT as its connectivity plane.

    Oh nice, I’ll give that a shot. I was using IOTlink but the service wasn’t reliable on my machine and needed to be restarted constantly…
    
    I’ll give HASS.agent a shot! Thanks

    That’d be interesting, but I don’t plan to integrate my PC that deeply into HA, if at all.
