    Edit: Yeah, I feel stupid now, since I realized the device has to be connected to a network, so there I had my answer :see_no_evil:

    But if anyone has an idea of how I could solve my problem as described, don’t hesitate to PM me :muscle::blush:
    …
    Maybe a dumb question. But does this also work on mobile phones? Or is it meant to be for waking computers?

    In case it’s possible on phones also, what kind of mode must the phone be in? Can it be turned totally off, or are there some kind of “soft turn off” mode with nothing running on phone?

    Why I ask is because I don’t have electricity to my cabin in mountain, I’m using solar panels and 12v batterybank to power up my cabin with electricity. With this I could set up a phone with Wake On Lan and access the Power panel with help of Bluetooth and TeamViewer when I’m home :crazy_face:

    I know I can do this with a 4g router, that’s what I use now, but the router sucks the battery dry after a few days without any sun outside :disappointed: So not the best solution :sweat_smile:

    I think WoL is mainly for PCs, preferably with an ethernet connection. Never heard of waking android phones.

    The PC has to be in sleep mode, possibly in hibernation (hybrid sleep).

    You can search on Google about WoL, how to enable it on your OS, and how it works.
