Turn On & Off Your PC With Your Voice Using Alexa Skills

I'm really lazy and I like being able to automate everything. Using a simple skill called WOL skill, I can use the built in 'wake on lan' function on my PC to let Alexa control turing on and off. This also works with routines.

* Go to the My Computer Icon, right click and go to properties.
* On the left click on Device Manager
* Find your physical network card under 'Network Interfaces'
* Right click and get the properties
* Under power management make sure all the options are ticked
* Under advanced, make sure wake on lan and magic packet are enabled.

* Next go to your network and internet settings and look for the 16 digit MAC address, this is the physical address of the card.
* Sign into www.wolskill.com with your Amazon details and add this MAC address giving the computer a name.
* Now you can add the WOL skill on the Alexa app, sign in with the same details and it will detect this PC as a smart device that Alexa can now control.

* Note: you may have to change BIOS settings on your PC to allow the network card to control powering on, if you're not sure about BIOS check with a PC expert.

** Use these instructions carefully as I accept no responsibility for changes or damages to your devices - Thanks **
