Common questions

What kind of request wakes a device?

It sends a Wake-on-LAN magic packet when it receives an authenticated POST request.

Can it be used with something other than Home Assistant?

It is built as a Home Assistant trigger target, but it is plain HTTP and works with anything that can issue a POST.

What Docker networking setup is required?

The container should run with network_mode: host, and the Docker host should sit in the same network segment as the target device.

Does it store configuration or activity data?

No, it has no web UI and no stored data, and activity is only in the container log.
