Is your Wake on LAN config working?

#

I was searching for help to deploy my Wake on LAN config and finally I have a working config.
I added this to my configuration.yaml

# Wake on LAN integration
wake_on_lan:

switch:
  - platform: wake_on_lan
    name: sw_wake_pc1
    mac: "01:02:03:04:05:06"
    host: "192.168.1.100"

  - platform: wake_on_lan
    name: sw_wake_pc2
    mac: "11:12:13:14:15:16"
    host: "192.168.1.101"

  - platform: wake_on_lan
    name: sw_wake_tv
    mac: "21:22:23:24:25:26"
    host: "192.168.1.102"

And this to create buttons on my panel

type: horizontal-stack
cards:
  - show_name: true
    show_icon: true
    type: button
    tap_action:
      action: toggle
    entity: switch.sw_wake_pc1
    icon: mdi:desktop-classic
    show_state: false
    name: PC1
  - show_name: true
    show_icon: true
    type: button
    tap_action:
      action: toggle
    entity: switch.sw_wake_pc2
    icon: mdi:desktop-classic
    name: PC2
    show_state: false
  - show_name: true
    show_icon: true
    type: button
    tap_action:
      action: toggle
    entity: switch.sw_wake_tv
    icon: mdi:television-classic
    name: TV
    show_state: false

It will write info in the log if it's actually performing something when you press the button so I suggest you look there and if there is nothing about wake_on_lan at least you know it's something with your dashboard which is wrong

#

If it writes something it's something wrong with your config or network

sorry newbie question but where do i paste the code to create buttons on the panel with the color etc I still don't know how to add colors to the home assistant

civic anvil
#

can i add the device status like the connectivity? i have added previously a few entities in the ping integration but it'll take me forever to configure all of them there's 39 total

#

or is there an easier way

The color changes according to the status of the host, yellow for a running PC and blue for a PC that is turned off.
In your configuration.yaml you need to inform host IP in the switch configuration:

# Wake on LAN integration
wake_on_lan:

switch:
  - platform: wake_on_lan
    name: sw_wake_pc1
    mac: "01:02:03:04:05:06"
    host: "192.168.1.100"  #The IP address or hostname to check the state of the device (on/off)

The easy way:
Add new card in the control panel, no matter the type chosen and then we click on "show code editor" delete all the code and paste the one for the buttons.

type: vertical-stack
cards:
  - type: horizontal-stack
    cards:
      - show_name: true
        show_icon: true
        type: button
        tap_action:
          action: toggle
        entity: switch.sw_wake_pc1
        icon: mdi:desktop-classic
        show_state: false
        name: PC1
      - show_name: true
        show_icon: true
        type: button
        tap_action:
          action: toggle
        entity: switch.sw_wake_pc2
        icon: mdi:desktop-classic
        name: PC2
        show_state: false
      - show_name: true
        show_icon: true
        type: button
        tap_action:
          action: toggle
        entity: switch.sw_wake_pc3
        icon: mdi:desktop-classic
        name: PC3
        show_state: false
  - type: horizontal-stack
    cards:
      - show_name: true
        show_icon: true
        type: button
        tap_action:
          action: toggle
        entity: switch.sw_wake_pc4
        icon: mdi:desktop-classic
        show_state: false
        name: PC4
      - show_name: true
        show_icon: true
        type: button
        tap_action:
          action: toggle
        entity: switch.sw_wake_pc5
        icon: mdi:desktop-classic
        name: PC5
        show_state: false
      - show_name: true
        show_icon: true
        type: button
        tap_action:
          action: toggle
        entity: switch.sw_wake_pc6
        icon: mdi:desktop-classic
        name: PC6
        show_state: false

You can use a combination of vertical and horitzontal stack, but take care with the indentation!!

I just improved my Wake on LAN configuration using the "RPC Shutdown" addon.
Now I can turn on and off my PC (Windows) with only one button and monitor the status (on/off) with the colour of this button.
Config for RPC Shutdown addon:

- alias: PC1
  address: 192.168.1.100
  credentials: UserName%Password
  delay: 30
  message: >-
    Home Assistant is shutting down this PC. This cannot be canceled. Please
    save your work!

Switch config on configuration.yaml

# Wake on LAN integration
wake_on_lan:
switch:
  - platform: wake_on_lan
    name: "sw_wake_PC1"
    mac: "01:02:03:04:05:06"
    host: "192.168.1.100"  #The IP address or hostname to check the state of the device (on/off)
    turn_off:
      service: hassio.addon_stdin
      data:
        addon: core_rpc_shutdown
        input: PC1  #Same name used for "alias" on RPC Shutdown addon config
#

I hope this can be useful for someone looking for a Wake on LAN configuration as I did 4 days ago
