Computer

Control your computer from Homey with a simple device tile and Flow actions. Turn it on with Wake-on-LAN, see whether it is reachable on your network, and shut it down remotely over SSH when you are done. Computer is useful for everyday routines like starting a media PC before movie night, powering up a workstation when you arrive home, or shutting down a machine automatically at bedtime. Add one or more computers in Homey, configure their network and SSH settings, and manage them alongside the rest of your home. What this app does - Starts computers with Wake-on-LAN. - Monitors whether each computer is reachable from Homey. - Shuts down computers over SSH. - Adds Flow action cards to start or shut down a selected computer. - Supports adding multiple computers, each with their own settings. - Lets you enter several IP addresses and MAC addresses as comma-separated lists for one computer, so you can cover both Wi-Fi and Ethernet on the same machine (wake every WoL target, try SSH shutdown on every IP, and treat the computer as online if any address responds). Before you add a device - Enable Wake-on-LAN in the computer BIOS or UEFI and operating system. - Give the computer a stable local IP address or DHCP reservation (one per interface you use; you can list them all, separated by commas). - Enable SSH on the computer. - Note each IP address and MAC address you need (comma-separated if the PC has more than one active interface, e.g. Wi-Fi and LAN), plus SSH port, username, and password. - For Linux and macOS, make sure the SSH user is allowed to run `sudo shutdown -h now`. How it works - Turning the device on sends a Wake-on-LAN magic packet for each configured MAC (broadcast is still inferred from the paired IP in the list). - Turning the device off connects over SSH on each configured IP until one succeeds and runs the configured shutdown command. - The online state is checked across all IPs: SSH is tried on every address in parallel with ping fallback; if any address answers, the computer counts as online. If SSH is unavailable everywhere but ping still responds on at least one, Homey shows a connectivity warning.
