Remote switch-on PC project
Since a while I was puzzling my mind on how to remotely turn on my PC.
I've come across a few solutions online, none of which is applicable or really useful, especially in my case. Eg: - infrared remote control (short distance) - "wake on LAN" technology (non working with wireless LANs) I have small wireless LAN of linux clients and servers, I travel a lot and I use to manage most of the computers remotely. Yesterday I decided to build a small device that is able to do the trick. I will use a mobile telephone with a new SIM card and new number. The telephone will be phisically connected to the computer motherboard. I'm planning to mod the telephone PCB to switch on one of the PCs when the telephone is called. I still have no blueprint and before starting the project I'd love to have your opinions/ideas about it. I think it can be a very useful little device for many people. - which of the telephone's circuits can be used to power on the PC (the speaker circuit maybe)? - is it possible to build a small bypass between the real PC switch and the motherboard? - how would you build this or improve my idea? Thanks a lot to everybody. Mauro |
