Maybe: [Wake on LAN App for Homey | Homey](https://homey.app/en-us/app/it.diederik.wol/Wake-on-LAN/) (wild guess 🤔)
and (personally do not use it) but you can look into: [Desktop Device App for Homey | Homey](https://homey.app/en-us/app/nl.jwienk.desktop-device/Desktop-Device/)

Hello @Xallias ,
nothing against _wake on LAN_, if it works.
I just think, if you set up the mini PC to “boot on power-up”, you can do it with any socket or energy actor, which you can control via your Homey Pro.
I did not do bios setting recently, but I guess there is still this option.

Make sure your computer actually _supports_ WOL, and that it’s enabled.

workaround is to put it on yourself 🙂 or check if your Bios supports 'on with power" If so you can use a smart socket
