Hey there👋

I am looking for a way to start/wake my macbook when i sit at my desk. For example:

When i pull out my chair (with a doorsensor) or when the zone becomes active (with a motion sensor or aqara fp2)

But do you guys know how i can do it maybe by using a webhook or by using a smart outlet.

Hope you guys know what to do
