That actually seams pretty awsome, just using a really low powered device to send WOL commands.
Comment on Options for remote Wake-on-lan. Or I guess wake on WAN.

I’ve been mentally experimenting with an ESP32 hooked up to my desktop’s PWR header with a switch. I’ve done worse than that before, so I know it’ll work. I just haven’t gotten my ass around to it. I can send commands to it through my domain via Apache acting as a reverse proxy.

Hey I did exactly this a few years ago! Uses an optocoulper for isolation. I flashed ESPHome on it and connected it to my Home Assistant instance.
Works like a charm!
