[Outdated] Google Home Wake On LAN Configuration
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 окт 2017
- Different sort of video today. I was unable to find a decent guide out there to WOL a computer from a Google Home. This is my simple solution.
What you'll need:
-Google Assistant, which is what Google Home uses
-Android phone
-IFTTT ifttt.com
-Automagic (or Tasker) play.google.co...
-PushBullet (or something like it that works with Tasker.) www.pushbullet...

Every single thing worked like a charm. One of the best tutorial videos I've ever watched. If you follow the steps carefully and precisely it will work. NOTE: For me, Automagic must be running on your phone in order for it to work so I recommend getting Autostart on your phone and configuring it to automatically start Automagic at start-up. This will mean you won't have to manually open it every time you want to turn your PC on which is probably more effort than just turning your PC on and it will stay open in the background, with a notification telling you so, even if you close it in recent apps. If you want to close it you will have to force stop the app in android settings.
For those who didn't get it working, there is a much simpler way to do it without Pushbullet :
- on Ifttt App, do as the video says ( remember to activate notification access to the App)
- then go to automagic ( same, remember to allow access to notifications) and create a Flow who looks like that :
* if notification received from Ifttt App containing "Insert your wake-on-lan phrase here"
* then send wake-on-lan packet to your pc ( the method in the video works pretty well)
* then delete the Ifttt notification containing your phrase.
It worked perfectly fine for me !
Nice video by the way.
The part at the beginning is actually really cool. You could just poke in to your room and ask if google could turn your computer on.
1:58 "so that it doesn't always sound like your talking to a robot" i felt that one..
Error Fix "Could not find a MAC address for the host"
I had the same problem. Ignore the error message. type ipconfig /all in cmd and grab the physical address. make sure to use : instead of -. CMD displays the physical address (which is the mac address) with - as spaces but this app uses : instead.
and then under IP/Port just type the first three sections from ur IPv4 address u also get via ipconfig /all and substitute the 4th section of ur ipv4 address with 255. make sure you use the data from the right entry. when u access the internet from the PC with LAN use the LAN adapter data in CMD. when u use a wifi adapter use this data instead. in my case, there are a bunch of differents data sets when I use ipconfig /all. so just make sure u r using the correct data.
done. works like a charm
Am I the only one that noticed his DNS Suffix at 6:08? xD
ecks deeeeee
Nope
Lol xD
Thanks for this! I use it all the time. Turn on with this and turn off with push2run! This works so well with "Hey Google, Good Morning"
wait, you can also turn it off with google assisstant?
Did it at first try with tasker, Wake on lan app with tasker plugin, and Pushbullet at first try but in Italian (change nothing, but today IFTTT support it). I'll probably do a simple guide or video in my language giving you a credit. Thanks Man, help me a lot.
for everybody that was having a problem with waking from sleep but not from shutdown here's what made it work for me after 2 hours of digging (windows 10):
there is a third AND EQUALLY IMPORTANT option as those mentioned before (magic packet and bios enabled wake on lan), you simply go to control panel-->power options-->on the top left side click "choose what the power buttons do"-->click on "change setting that are currently unavailable"-->and finally UNCHECK "turn on fast startup"--> click save and you're done!
this was literally the thing that made the difference for this whole thing working or not for me. i suppose if my OS was defaulted to this then everybody else's OS is too.. so i would recommend the author of this video to add this info somewhere so people could do this extra step making sure they get the desired results.
Sadly it doesn't help in my case. It seems I don't have ethernet active while turned off.
please edit out when you say ok google to be silent!
Just put on a headset. Works like a charm.
@@kristianojanen425 Or just go with what he ^ said - simpler AND cheaper! All the author has to do, is edit it out, and voiceover "Hey G" as a substitute. :)
Understandingly, I used this method as a way to ease the use of my computer. Unfortunately the whole system doesn’t want to boot up anymore, it was sent me into a repairing windows loop. Using all methods to access my computer it was resolved that nothing could be done and since AUS keyboards don’t have a backslash on command prompt, I got stuck leaving me to reset my computer. I wish I had never used this method because this means I have to reinstall 8.9 terabytes worth of coding that I have been working on. This isn’t you fault but rather I have completely destroyed my system. 😭
In deutschland gibt es Automagic nicht, deswegen habe ich MacroDroid benutzt und Wake on Lan App. Dann hat aber alles funktioniert. Vielen Dank.
Automagic doesn't exist in Germany, that's why I used MacroDroid and the Wake on Lan app. But then everything worked. Many Thanks.
When I type in my IP address, I get an error saying "Could not find a MAC address for the host". Any suggestions?
Did u fix it ? I have same issue :s
I had the same problem. Ignore the error message. type ipconfig /all in cmd and grab the physical address. make sure to use : instead of -. CMD displays the physical address (which is the mac address) with - as spaces but this app uses : instead.
and then under IP/Port just type the first three sections from ur IPv4 address u also get via ipconfig /all and substitute the 4th section of ur ipv4 address with 255. done. works like a charm
I have an iPhone, and aslo a Google Home and I want to do that, how can i do it? Like, is it necessary to have a android phone to turn it on and off?
Trying so hard to do this on iOS (phone) to PC. Any suggestions? I've tried IFTTT and Workflow. No luck so far.
any luck?you manage to do it?
what app can i use for an iphone phone for the flow part?
did you find a working app im having the same problem
Thats not possible on iPhone!
Well done, man!!! Your instructions are the best to follow!!!!
To turn off the computer, do you have any tutorial?
Use assistant computer control
Dude, you are the best. I saw other tuts about GHome and IFTTT to get PCs up and running or shut down. There solution are not that good as you check for files every x-seconds or so which produces traffic and takes also more time. Thanks for your great tutorial, I will give it a try.
I got this Woking without buying tasker. I used an app (android) called 'automate' the flowchart is very similar. Thanks
thank you so much from italy
After all that stuf do I need to have my mobile connected to wifi when I want to turn pc up?
Nice tutorial. Do you know if it's possible to make it work on 4G ? I suppose we need a device at home connected to the Wi-Fi network ?
At first i followed the tutorial to no success but then i did a little more research and it turns out fast boot needs to be disabled in windows power settings and possibly BIOS aswell. I have fast boot disabled in BIOS and in windows power settings, its a pain in the ass to find some of these settings but when you see them you will know. I also used a broadcast address calculator to help find the correct address as the video wasn't clear on what it would be. Otherwise a very helpful and well presented video :)
I love that somebody else called their computer "The Beast"
same before i watched this video i had awaken the beast as my command lmao
I got automagic as an APK but it appears that the phone isn't granting the acces to internal files even if I give the perm' to the app.
I got an older apk of the app (the last gplay version) and it worked
What I gotta do to make Google Home open a game? (Like Fortnite, GTA V...)
i use eventghost with ifttt and Join
You can do it with pushbullet
Just put a shortcut of your game.exe on the start folder of windows . And it will open your game when your pc turn on (via wol for example)
On my automagic, I don't see a Received a push plugin. How?
i already sniff the packet and able to receive when the computer is on.
when i put it under sleep or full shutdown mode im still not able to wake the pc up.
note that the Magic packet on the nic card has been enable. Bios has enable wol on pcie and also nic card flashes orange when the pc is turn off.
Any idea?
good hammer tutorial!
Hey Google, Build a CSGO level
if only that was a feature.
Adroon Thompson yes abroomy, if only that was the future!
"waking the beast" HAL 9000 starts up
Using this, IFTTT platforms (to combine multiple actions), an IR receiver, and my Harmony Hub, I'm finally able to turn on and off everything (TV/PC/Stereo) with one command!!!! I wanted to be able to do this years ago!
How are u making it work from the google home it only works from my phone
Oke I'm stuck. Google let automagic execute it's command. But some how my pc doesn't get the message. Also automagic didn't find my mac. I hope you can help me.
Hey man, it didnt work. I did literally everything you asked. Pls help a brother out. 😞
Thankyou so much for this video, this is going to be so helpful as I put together my smart bedroom/workspace over the next few days. One quick question:
If I set the phrase 'turn on the computer' up in ifttt as you have, THEN add the phrase 'turn on the computer' to a Google assistant routine, can i have her turn on the computer and also configure my lights, music, fan, curtains, etc simultaneously? Essentially adding the wake command to a more complex routine I already have?
Thanks in advance
Tried again with my pc being hard wired went threw and made sure the ip and mac address was correct and still does not work. Any ideas why?
same :(
@@dextersilva4411 i found out a smart plug will work
Thanks a lot! finaly found a way to start my pc remotely from outside my home network without a static arp list since my router does not support it!
How did you get this to work outside of your network?
@@Resengan21 your lucky i have notifications on xD but i used a second phone i had laying around which i kept permanenlty on at home that sent a wake on lan command to my entire home network when i messaged it via this app! This bypasses the need for an arp list but only really works as intended if you only want to start 1 device.
Alternativly do this with an arduino or something else
As another option make a pcb with a chip on it that toggles power that gets activated via an app on your phone remotely via internet (or buy some smarthome powerplugs that work over wifi) then set your pc to start after power los and resume so you cut power in off state when ur done then give power when u want it to turn on and pc will auto start.
I couldn't get PushBullet triggering Automagic, so I changed to IFTTTT notification to trigger (it is more direct) instead bypassing 3rd party PushBullet....it works! Just remember to turn on Notification Access in Automagic!
Was IFTTT not able to connect to your pushbullet account?
SUPER COOL! got it working with Tasker
So I set this all up, and when I ask my google home to turn on my computer, the flow gets processed, but my computer never actually turns on. I've double checked all of my settings in both Windows 10 and the automagic app and I don't know why it isn't working. Can anyone help?
maybe some settings in you're bios? like wake on lan and maybe that is turned off idk exactly
Turn on wake on lan in bios
I had the same problem. But in the bios is all enabled
@@filippofontanesi maybe try entering your public ip address. that worked for me
@@phoenix22368 how can I do it?
If you're having trouble getting this to work, make sure that ErP is disabled in BIOS. ErP will prevent WOL from working.
Cool stuff man. I don't even know why I watched this except maybe that it had your name.
wow.. amazing.. please ad the option of BIOS setup of laptop or PC , and mandate it that your power adapter is connected to your laptop .
Where can I install the plugin for automagic?
u have to download pushbullet on your phone from the google play store
Do you have a tutorial for switching off the computer please ?
if the computer in on wireless network and the box to allow the device to wake the computer is disable how can i enable that option...even go to advanced there is only this options: (802.11b Preamble, AdHoc 11n, Dynamic MIMO Power Save, Network Address, Receive Buffers, Scan Valid Interval, Transmit Buffers)
I can't get this to work while it's of, when it's sleeping it'll work.
I did enable the PCI options on the bios, any help?
It cannot work when it is off sry. Right now I'm searching why is not working in sleep mode at all for me...
for me it works when it is off. as far as I remember, I changed the system power states of shutdown somehow. maybe in bios. see here for more details
docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/power/system-power-states
this doesn't show how it is done, but this shows that there are different stages of the PC sleeping.
Hello TopHATTwaffle !
Can I do this trick when I'm using USB Wi-Fi ?
I followed your steps but it doesnt work.
Unfortunately both Google Home and IFTTT have changed things enough that this doesn't seem to work the same way and I can't figure it out
I am new in Google Home! Thank you very much your video, very helpfull, and my computer is power on with my voice command. I am happy!!! Thank you again! ;)
this was a great short video to do the job, thaks a lot man
Holy sheep! You are Rick Sanches for me now! Thanks a lot for this master-class.
Thanks fr ur info.
can i get an automation video on the last thing which u have told i.e making worke stuff automation.
Hey I am kinda stuck... my automagic app says there are "no plugins found on device" and I am kinde stuck at this point
Thank you very much it worked Could you please give me some info on how to do it to power off the pc? I tried with the same way but it says Automagic needs root access for this. Any insight for that?
Great video! I'm just getting into the smart home, so turning on pc with voice would ve something I'd really like to do. Can you give more details on how to set up google home to launch programs on PC? It would be cool to launch all my streaming stuff with just one command.
It's so sad the the google home device would be able to WoL on it's own, but you have to use 3 cloud services and 2 devices and be on the same WiFi to get this working.
You can do it with a single service, ha-bridge (github.com/bwssytems/ha-bridge), but this requires a server in house. The system in the video does not require you to be on the same wifi at all. You can do a lot of home automation things without the run around of services if you learn the Google API, but that's a lot of work for something that is simply done with services that I already had and use daily. I'd love you see a better system if you have one.
TopHATTwaffle Awesome, thank you.
I'll ring you up if i find a better way.
Google should just release a better way themselves, lol. With over 2 Billion computers in use and 183 Million brand new computers sold in 2017 alone, it seems like something that should already be within the Google Home app settings. I have an Asus router with built in WOL feature where you can wake using the MAC. IFTTT has some Asus router applets but I have not taken a look at them yet to see what they do. I wonder if its possible for Google Home > IFTTT to ask the Asus router to WOL any MAC I chose? That would be even better I think because there is zero lag when I use the WOL feature inside my Asus router. Just instant on via ethernet (or very low latency for sure).
Under ethernet, your specific DNS Suffix was dikkbutt, baha made me laugh
Can you make a video of same thing but using iOS device instead of an Android please.
well everything went fine, the flow flashed red but my pc won't turn on, I activated the thing from the beggening I put the numbers and the submask, and the pic wouldn't open, yes my PC is on lan
Me too any idea? something I noticed differently is that near the field Connection-specific DNS Suffix I don't have anything written.
Automagic isn't at play store anymore, tasker wouldn't work... The PushBullet plugin will generate a new message at the phone, receiving isn't available. please update the vid
So, if my phone is for example, turned off, it wouldn't work?
after i choose a trigger type i cant press configure for some reason can someone help me with that?
my problem: i knew this would be problem, if i check "allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" wich i have to check , to be able to check "allow this device to wake the computer" if shuts off my wifi after a while in the whole house
thank you so much. i was following another tutorial and he didnt mention that we have to write our subnet mask address in automagic.
Holy fuck. That was awesome. Worked flawless, 10/6 stars.
Works great :) but... how does it work with Google Home unit with speaker? It doesnt have any apps preinstalled etc. right?
very good tutorial! thank you! Im using gamestream on nvidia shield to steam steam but have to go upstairs to turn on the computer every time, would this work do you think ? Shield has assistant built in ?
so myn doesn't have magic packet under advance nor a power management tab , under ethernet, but when i go to wifi network card all is there magic packet is enabled and wake this device on the PM tab.
Does not work with wifi
Wol only works for a few minutes after being put in hybrid after that it just does nothing
@TopHATTwaffle can i also use alexa for it
Can you please tell me what to do when after choosing "plugin event" in automagic a Plugin window is blank and missing a "Received a Push" plugin. Where do I get this plugin from ??? How to install it?
worked like a charm big like to u ma dude u just save me a ton of time
Great Tutorial! Thank you!
So the push is successful but the pc was not turning on help me please
it works on my medion smart tv but how can I turn it off again with automagic? also on my pc it works perfect
Hi, thanks for posting this video. Rewatched all steps, read all comments, still can't figure out whats wrong. Tried Setun's method as well, to no avail. IFTTT works, puhsbullets receives the note, but it seems automagic nor automate is receiving the pushbullet note as the flow in both apps don't execute. WOL works independently, PC is configured with fixed IP. So it seems that the commands stops at Pushbullet and goes no further. Allowed accessibility settings for both automagic and automate to receive notifications from other apps on my tablet, still no luck. What am I missing?
On Automagic, it says no plug in found once i enter Plugin Event (experimental). can anyone help ?
"Only allow a magic packet to wake this computer" is greyed out for me. Nor are there any of the magic packet settings in the advanced tab. 😟
got it working by disabling fast startup on power options inside windows :D
I managed to review everything that could have kept it from working. I have watched the videos a few times to see if i missed anything, but no luck. Any reason why my pc still not turning on?
Does it have to be on LAN? What if I have a wireless adapter that can connect to the Internet? Pls Help me
worked like a charm, thanks man
my wifi has no wake on magic packet option, even on the advaned tab.
I approve of this. More. MORE
Ok so i got my pc to wake on lan with other Google play store apps. But when when i follow this procedure with google assistant it doesn't work. fast book is turned off, bios Express PCI power on is enable. what am i doing wrong? i have also tried replacing the IP number at the end with my actual ip address rather than inserting 255 in the last section. Any help would be appreciated.
Hi - Ive done all the configuarations on IFTTT, automajic and pushbullet for the phone and Wake for Wi-Fi network access on my mac. I did the test and it goes red in the automajic app but when I put my mac to sleep it doesn't turn on. Any suggestions?
this only works if u FIRST put computer in sleep mode right? does it work if u fully shutdown computer or not?
It can workq even if your computer is fully shutdown.
In wi-fi it is possible that it doesnt work.
How did you configure this? In the windows settings it states the WOL works in "hibernation" (sleep mode)
Keep in mind that Wake on LAN is usually a BIOS setting and does work when the system is fully shutoff as the network card uses just a bit of power waiting for the packet to arrive and it can tell your computer to wake up. It's not just a software thing.
@@mitchellcrazyeye ty my thought but i was not sure guess i was right after all
it´s works with wifi?or only by cable...I tryed all in this guide but doesn´t work
The google home send the comand and and automatic turn red but pc doesn´t turn on
sorry for my English
What other apps can be used with push bullet to send the note to automagic??
There's an free alternative to Tasker so you can do all this for free as well. It's called Automate if you want to have a look at it
if ur evenstill here can u possible help on what to do when i get auto mate?
I am on an iPhone and couldn’t find the app you are taking about is there any other solutions?
this is not working anymore. IFTTT has changed and you need to pay for the app. if for some reason you get it to work it will only work when you are @home.
Hi i used your instructions but when i want to use other programs like google home and link stuff from the web i get this View Web URL intent received or flow is not enables msg. As soon as i deleted automajic..all is good again..any idea how to fix so can keep automajic?
I followed all the step and it seem like it went through pushbullet but nothing happen on automagic. Can you help me out what I did wrong? Thanks
AWESOME!!!! It works perfectly!
Can you elaborate on how to use Unified Remote with IFFT? I have pushbullet but it's free. I'm wondering if I can use Unified Remote as a go between instead since I've already paid for Unified Remote
hi! this is wonderful but what if i use it on my android tv? it has also WOL but what will be the command i will be using can you help me?
I did what you told, and can only wakeup my computer from sleep :/ I did enable wake on Lan from bios aswell. Any idea?
Try to turn off "Fast Startup Mode", that worked for me.
www.howtogeek.com/243901/the-pros-and-cons-of-windows-10s-fast-startup-mode/
still not working :/ im pretty sure everything else is setup correctly since i can wake up my pc from sleep with google assistant. any more ideas?
just checked with wireshark, and the WOL packet does in fact get sent and recieved. so i really dont know what i am doing wrong :(
If the computer only wakes from Sleep, that means something on the computer isn't allowing it to wake from S5 (Soft Off) power state. Check to make sure the Ethernet port stays active when the computer is shut down. Typically there are 2 lights on a network port, 1 green and 1 amber. The amber one should stay on. The port your computer is connected to should also stay on. If the port does not stay active the computer cannot be woken from the network. If you hard turn off, or remove power to the computer it won't be able to use WOL for the next power on.
TopHATTwaffle seems like the ethernet port loses power when I shot down my pc :( is there a way to fix that?
