Raspberry pi Wake-On-Lan Relay Teamviewer

[Zeen89]

Hello!

 

i Just did a smal Project with a Raspberry pi and Teamviewer.

Easy way to have a reliable wake-on-lan relay allways up and runing

you don't need to open ports in your router, so therefore you still have security.

 

Requirement

PC runing Windows or MAC OSx on Hardwire

your computers network card has to be compatible with Wake-On-Lan

Raspberry pi Freshly updated

some spare time to spend

recomended to have a Teamviewer Account for easy access to your computer and Raspberry Pi

 

Raspberry pi

install the latest Raspbian Jesse or update the one you have.

install Teamviewer Host for Raspberry pi on your Raspberry pi. you can download it from Teamviewer's homepage.

(write down your teamviewer ID 9-Didgets you will need it later)

 

Computer

install Teamviewer

 

allow easy acess,

in settings under General you will find the Wake-On-Lan Section.

press configurate and chose Other Teamviewer in my Local Network,

put the 9-didget id from your Raspberry pi and press Add and then hit ok.

this setting will be stored in Teamviewers servers so they can relay the Wake-on-lan package throug your raspberry pi.

 

last part in getting WOL to work is to go in to your main computers BIOS and look for the Wake-On-Lan and Enable it.

save and exit your bios.

 

the wake on lan only works if the computer is in hibernate, sleep or shut down (soft off this does not support mac osx)

 

now you can add your computer and raspberry pi on your Teamviewer account for easy access from another computer that's running Teamviewer or your Smartphone.

you shuld be able to start your computer over Teamviewer be pressing the On/Off button.

 

this is my experience.

Any pi would work. You also don’t need teamviewer. 
 

I used a pi for this in the past, ssh in, run a WOL script, and boom, PC I wanted to be turned on would be on. https://wiki.debian.org/WakeOnLan
 

There is a package called wakeonlan, pretty easy to set up and use.
