Windows and macOS have similar clients (Hass.Agent for Windows and Home Assistant for macOS).
I’ve found these kinds of clients useful because I can remotely wake-up or sleep computers, track how long they are turned on for, and automatically pause my lights and music when my webcam turns on.
Ooooh! Finally. I have needed something like this to control the volume on my media PC.
I used to have an automation that detects when my HVAC turns on, and it bumps the volume of whatever I’m playing up a few clicks. Then turns it back down when the HVAC cycle finishes. Super handy due to the crazy loud HVAC in my house.
This is super useful, thanks for sharing!
Been using this for several months now and it’s been great. I even set up scripts to set my next boot to be Windows when I know I’ll be gaming with friends using a game on GamePass so it’ll be booted and ready when game night is about to start.
USER ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /bin/systemctl
That’s concerning.
Oh neat!
I made a custom solution for WOL and remote shutdown using nodered and MQTT, but this is so cleaner than maintaining a custom solution
If you’re using it, Home Assistant natively supports Wake On Lan. This would only be able to handle the shutdown/sleep side of things.
