im at a loss i tried so many ways to make it work with HA but for some reason it just refuses to to sent the wol with the ui it does not ask for the ip off the device only mac and broadcast ip and if i configure it in yaml it also just does fuck all how come its not working when im taking the data from a app that when i press sent wol it just works?

#

does nothing

#

when i do it in yaml like this:

switch:
  - platform: wake_on_lan
    mac: 00:11:22:33:44:55
    broadcast_address: 255.255.255.255
    broadcast_port: 9 
``` also like this it wont do anything it will show in HA but when i press/switch it again does nothing at all

#

But this random ass app just put the data in press button boom it works so what am i doing wrong?

#

i take any help if possible being struglling with this for weeks now and it should not be so complicated i feel like im missing some information or something

Are you sure about the taeget IP Address as its unlighty to be 255.255 255.255. If it a PC run ipconfig to get it IP Address.

@prisma spade its all correct like i said any other wol app on my phone does it perfecly with the same data im giving HA

#

als the info i put on there is sample

#

but using either the broadcast adrress or the ip adress of the network interface card it just refusing to work

#

so yeah idk why it not working but its weird if i do it in the ui or config.yaml both times just nothing
