Hello!

Can you please tell me, what:

Should I type in my iMac hardware MAC, or it's wi-fi's?

Greetings Vect0r.

    Sure, sorry...

    magicPacket = string.char(0xff, 0xff, 0xff, 0xff, 0xff, 0xff)

    macAddress = string.char(0x6c, 0xf0, 0x49, 0x1a, 0x61, 0x3a)

    for i=1, 16

    do

    magicPacket = magicPacket .. 00:22:41:f9:f1:44

    end

    socket = Net.FUdpSocket()

    socket:setBroadcast(true)

    bytes, errorCode = socket:write(magicPacket, "255.255.255.255", 9)

    if errorCode == 0

    then

    -- printing log under virtual device

    fibaro:log("transfer OK")

    else

    fibaro:log("transfer failed")

    end

    This contains an airport express MAC adress.

    Thank you for sharing. I tried it, but something is wrong in my setup.

    I get the following error:

    [ERROR] 11:38:14: line 11: bad argument #1 to 'char' (number expected, got nil)

    This refers to the line:

    x = x .. string.char(tonumber(string.sub(s, i, i+1), 16));

    What is going wrong?

    hvb83, this is probably a problem with ctrl+c / ctrl+v, copy and paste on text edit, check the scipt and put it in HC2... Regards.

    It does not work. The computer wakes up from sleep only, but not when it is turned off. In contrast, the script in general it does not turn off or fall asleep.

    "WAKE ON LAN" not ressurect-from-the-dead-on-LAN

    /emoticons/default_icon_wink.gif" alt=";-)" /> For your PC to wake up, it must still be listening on LAN. If it was powered off, this would not be possible unless it takes power from the LAN, and then it isn't really powered off anyway is it?

    Wake on LAN can wake up also computer that has been completely shut down. It needs support for that from NIC and BIOS.

    PC is actually always powered up, unless hardware switch has been turned off or power cable has been detached. After normal shutdown the mainboard is still powered and alive.

    How could this be modified to automatically wake up a server every morning at 6:00?
