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. 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. - Enable SSH on the computer. - Note the computer IP address, MAC address, 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 packet. - Turning the device off connects over SSH and runs the configured shutdown command. - The online state is checked with SSH first. If SSH is unavailable but ping still responds, Homey shows a connectivity warning.
