I am inconsistently able to turn my computer on. It seems as though I can only do so if the app is open on my android phone... That really defeats the purpose of using my voice to start up my computer... Shutting it down however works without any flaws. Any ideas on how to get around the start up issue?
These steps are not at all required now. Just need Hassio running in PI, wake on lan entry in configuration.yaml and RPC shutdown addon from addonstore.
Fantastic! Even though the process is complicated you explain it in a way that is approachable even for those of us who are not exactly fluent in this area. I haven't been able to make my PC turn on yet but I bet the fault is mine. EDIT: I had to turn on Wake On Lan in BIOS.
There are a lot of gaps in this tutorial that people in the comments have had to fill in. It sure would be nice if you updated the tutorial with these key steps so people don't have to dig through the comments.
Attention: to get the Eventghost autoremote:pc_off message,, after installing the autoremote python plugin for eventghost, you set up a port number in it (default is 1818). Then you also need to set the same number in the join extension settings/advanced/EventGhost, Node-RED/port-number to redirect there. (For this particular pc_off message, you do not need to add any autoremote device in eventghost config)
Your videos are amazing man , you are the only channel on TH-cam with real usefull content about the google home , i just bought one recently and i am loving to learn about it trough yout channel. Keep up with the good work !
Thank you for the video, Juan. I appreciate all the third party apps, but I was able to accomplish the same functionality using the HA shell_command service, issuing the shutdown command to the PC by way of SSH with key authorization, and WOL issued from the RPi host itself. No involving any third party apps except Google. BTW thanks for all the help from your videos !
Thanks dude... My laptop is fully connected with my Google Home now. I managed to make also a scenario to lock my computer. Very useful step-by-step configuration.
Hi Juan, I've used this setup for years and it has worked great! Thanks so much. Unfortunately there will be some changes to how IFTT works with Google assistant V2 from August 31... I haven't quite figured out how to get this to work with V2. Do you have any ideas? Kind regards :)
Great video, very clear and easy to follow explanation. Really quick setup (once worked out the missing AutoRemote piece of the puzzle) Question though... I find that the Wake on Lan app stops triggering after a while, unless I have the app open on my screen and THEN say the voice command. Any thoughts on how to solve this? I can see in the join logs that it sends the pc_on text and also the tasker log shows that join received pc_on, and the start task service appears followed by wake on Lan action but my computer doesn't turn on unless I have the Wake on lan app active and on my screen at the same time. Note: the logs appear the same regardless
Which WOL app u have on mobile if its by Mike Webb then u shouldn't be having any problem also if u have set the Tasker profile for pc on correctly My suggestion would be first test the WOL app by mike webb to wake up ur pc if it does then del ur current profile for PCPower and recreate it as mentioned Lastly ur ifttt acc and join acc should be registered with same google assistant email account (this is my opinion for everything to work flawlessly) Create the Tasker profile exactly as Juan shows it
One more thing What do u mean wake on lan app has to be active u add it in plugin pl follow the written guides in description . Three apps should be in ur mobile Tasker Join and Autoremote with Autoremote plugin properly configured and ur device registered
For this you need to setup portforwarding on your router Teamviewer installed on your pc and mobile or Wake on Wan app with portforwarding setup on your router

This works so long as my computer has been shut down recently - if my computer sits overnight in an S5 Shutdown state, this no longer works until I turn my computer on again. I can still turn it on using the WOL app, but I cannot using the Google Assistant/IFTTT/Join/Tasker process. After I start it up once manually or using the WOL App directly, I can then turn my computer on and off using the Google Assistant process all day long. As far as I can tell, Event Ghost autoremote plugin may not be working correctly but I'm not sure. I could use some help. It might be important to note that I am doing this all locally, I have not dived into port forwarding on my router to enable this for WAN and would rather not at this time. Any extra brain power is appreciated here. Thank you.
REMINDER: Check out the written guide on my website for any changes to the configuration: -> www.juanmtech.com/turn-a-computer-on-and-off-using-android-and-google-home/ Here is another written guide for Join and EventGhost: -> www.juanmtech.com/join-by-joaoapps-beginners-guide/ Use Home Assistant to turn your computer on and off (Extra details on how to set up Join) -> th-cam.com/video/jG8TN0YvRNY/w-d-xo.html
Make sure that you're connected to the same WiFi connection. Also, make sure that your hardwired computer is discoverable by other devices within the home network.
On the Turn off part on Webhoks do i change method from GET to POST there aswell?? (Off and On both methods are "POST" or? I cant see the command on (3:30) I get all of the notifications but nothing happens
ok can someone explain this to me, so when he was starting to say turn off computer he selected CPU, but when it was about turning computer on he selected android device? and do I need a chromcast to plug in to my computer?
Great video. Was able to get most everything to work, except the WOL app your using is no longer in the app store. And I could not find one that tasker would see as a plugin
You can also use the AutoTools plug-in. There is an option for WOL. When you create a task, go to Plugins, AutoTools, Connectivity and then you would see the Wake on LAN option
If you turned off power button from working...lets say your googlehome went bad and you need to manually power it on....how would you do that? Just curious.
help! when I do the "send an eventghost command" on my chrome join extention I get a notification on my windows10 notification center but nothing on Eventghost.

@@predator2392 I've already checked the Bios Settings and the Windows Settings. Could it be a problem that my PC is connected via a Bridge to my Router ?
Do you have an alternative for the Tasker. Something free? And how did you set it up? Please.... I saw a few tutorials how to turn on and off my PC with Google Home, but I always come across a paid app version.
does this method require pc being connected to the internet via lan cabel only? i wonder if there is method for turning on/off remotely without lan cabel and without dependency on the wi-fi network?
I can't start the pc, google says it's turning on but nothing happens, shut down does work tho. I believe I followed all steps correctly. maybe the problem has to deal with wake on lan and Tasker to sync with join. I also got a message from join that unable to to something with clipboard and pc. If anybody knows solution please let me know. Thank you for the video!
Looks like you cannot power it on if you only have Wi-Fi. I can power it off/restart, but won't power on. I've done all the settings. Any ideas if it can work on Wi-Fi? Thanks.
hey sir, tried to follow your instruction, but the only thing did work out is the eventghost, i don't see the command that i sent to join extension on eventghost log to drag it. am i missing something? please advise
i figured it out to power off the pc via google assistant but i cannot turn it on, tried to enabled your suggestion on device manager. please help only the turn on pc command is not working
Shutting off works fine. Turning on only works from sleep mode, not when fully powered off. I've made sure to try the troubleshooting steps and still no go.
Is the WOL App waking up your pc when powered off check that first If it does then check your Tasker profile (Assuming you have done all the process correctly like registering your device in eventghost and others) Infact recreate it restart the pc then try waking your pc
nice tutorial. I am a begginer with all these and it took me a whole day to set up wvwrything and finally i managed to turn of my pc, but when i tell google to turn on my pc, he answers as he shoulld, tha he is turning on pc, but nothing happens. Any idea?
Will it work if my mobile phone is not in on the wifi of the network my computer is in? I mean, if I am (with my mobile phone) away from home and want to turn on the PC remotely, how the wake on LAN would be broadcasted to my network?
Hey, do you know how to remotely switch on a computer from another computer or smartphone that isn't connected to the same WiFi? Is this possible? Thanks, Adam
It works fine with google assistant through my phone ,but when I say command to my google home speaker it responds turning your pc on and nothing happens
Same with me... But when my phone is unlock and I ask my google home mini it's working. My cellhpone need to be open and unlock for my google mini to work :( . I'm trying to find a workaround
So you need AutoRemote first, then setting it up, finding out what's your personal ID URL (whatever that even is), then understanding why AutoRemote wants full access to your google drive. Thank you for your time and the whole tutorial but I wasn't able to follow it through, stopped at this ID
Eventghost installed in your Pc with AutoRemote plugin setup 4 apps on your Mobile WOL app by mike webb Tasker Join and AutoRemote (This will show your device personal url which u need to register in eventghost) Also add Join chrome extension in your chrome browser
So i do have a question. i was able to set up most of this process. i havn't done the tasker portion yet since i wanted to make sure everything works before purchasing the app, but i am able to get my pc to shutdown fine. my question is if theres a way to get the pc to boot when using WIFI. i have gotten it to start up if i do the process for using the ethernet, but if i attempt to do it using wifi instead, i am unable to get it to work at all. i have ROG CROSSHAIR VI HERO (WI-FI AC) motherboard with the onboard wifi.
Can you make another video to go through step by step of making it on iphone? Similarly, i cannot have the send eventghost command "pc_off" being on the eventghost software :(
I'll check on how to do this type of project in a similar way using an IOS device. If it's possible and more people are interested to see this on IOS, I would work on a tutorial video for it. Right now, I'm working to release a new project, but, I would make a quick video showing how to set up Join and EventGhost. Hopefully, it helps the people that are having issues setting that part.
Liam Edward Go to join chrome extension settings on your pc click options go to Advanced under port section ie to send commands to eventghost or Node red enter 1818 in the port Now send ur pc_off command to eventghost
Bro all of ur effort would be futile as Tasker app is for android however u can download Tasker apk search for it in google and u will find it but it may or might not work
@@אופק-ב7ג Bro did u enter the port no 1818 in join chrome extension settings on ur pc (click options go to advanced scroll down to port section ) After that send join Tasker command pc_off (if for some reason does not show up in eventghost just restart ur pc and then try it ) if u have followed all the process correctly as mentioned in juan's written tutorial it should work Let me know if u managed to do it
how does turn off work? Does it hard shut off or like can you set it to just sleep, and what if the comp runs into a program thats still running when its shutting off?
nice.. but i am looking for some "remote" solution.. for WOL i must have phone in the same network.. so i need some gateway or hub connected to cloud and that hub must know how to send WOL ?
I think there is another way by using autoremote i think it will be more usefull controling other devices by many way It would be helpfull If u can explain it.. Would u?
Hi, Juan. I am trying to do the 2nd step on the EventGhost when it should show the Message (AutoRemote.Message) created by Join and it does NOT show it anywhere! I need help! DM
Hi Juan, will this work for a laptop using only wireless connection ? I don't have a network cable. Will this work if the laptop is suspended or only when it is powered down? Thanks!
I got the turn pc off command to work through google home using this but for whatever reason I can't get tasker to talk with join on the cell phone my motherboard is configured correctly join on the web and used my cell phones api link that gets populated after in the tasker text typing pc_on for the ifttt webhook I have the full version of Taksker on my cell phone also have auto remote on my cell to maybe that is configured wrong in which case how should it be?
Go to join chrome extension settings on your chrome browser click options go to advanced Scroll down to port section ie redirect command to eventghost Enter 1818 in the port now send join tasker command pc_off it will show
Also something you forgot to mention, some motherboards you have to enable WoL in bios and its different for every manufacturer, but if anyone has to do that, and you don't know what you are doing in bios, ONLY change values you are 100% certain on what does so you don't brick your device, some motherboard do have reset switches, or you could remove the CMOS battery for a bit, to reset if it goes wrong
Yes, IFTTT reworked the trigger, now they work with scenes instead of simple phrases. Now if you want this tutorial to work you have the create two new applets using assistant v2 and activate IFTTT in the Google Home App. Then the triggers of the 2 new applets should be "computer" and "shutdown". So it will listen for "Hey Google, activate computer" or "Hey Google, activate shutdown". You can still change the phrases using custom routines in the Google Home app but not in IFTTT.
@@Jento. i am honestly still stuck I don't know what to put in the "message" part, it says activatedat activated at scenename and unless I put the right stuff it won't let me through, also have no idea how to integrate it with Google routines, i can't find any information out there unfortunately, so you seem to be my only hope if I want it to work again
@@Cinnamon_Shaey The only difference when creating the IFTTT applets is when you choose assistant just enter "computer". And for the other applet, enter "Shutdown". The rest of the tutorial stays the same. So basically you say to your Google "activate computer" or "activate shutdown". But for more advanced users, they can customize their phrases in a google home routine.
@@Jento. I got the computer to wake up, but can't get it to shut down, when I say activate shutdown it just starts "if you wanna deactivate the mic press the button on the back of the device"
@@Jento. oh heck yeah for some reason I did have to use routines, cause otherwise it would not let me, I just had to relink IFTTT to Google AFTER making the applets so I could choose them in the adjust scenes option, and then I could do activate pc and activate shutdown and have even changed them with the routine so I don't need to say activate, can just say hey Google start pc and hey Google shutdown pc

I think that is just to select "Sleep" instead of "Shut Down" at EventGhost, so the action would be sleep the computer, not shut down.
I need to make my wife shut up by using my PC.
Please help.
This works so long as my computer has been shut down recently - if my computer sits overnight in an S5 Shutdown state, this no longer works until I turn my computer on again. I can still turn it on using the WOL app, but I cannot using the Google Assistant/IFTTT/Join/Tasker process. After I start it up once manually or using the WOL App directly, I can then turn my computer on and off using the Google Assistant process all day long. As far as I can tell, Event Ghost autoremote plugin may not be working correctly but I'm not sure. I could use some help. It might be important to note that I am doing this all locally, I have not dived into port forwarding on my router to enable this for WAN and would rather not at this time. Any extra brain power is appreciated here. Thank you.

There are no devices showing up in add device section of Wake On Lan. what should I do?
Make sure that you're connected to the same WiFi connection. Also, make sure that your hardwired computer is discoverable by other devices within the home network.
Working with a wifi repeater and a lan cabke? So that the wifi repeater and the PC are connected with a LAN cable?
On the Turn off part on Webhoks do i change method from GET to POST there aswell?? (Off and On both methods are "POST" or?
I cant see the command on (3:30)
I get all of the notifications but nothing happens
@AbHiSHeK_m_NiCoLsON_ 12_H my doesnt :/
what method should the webhook for turning off the computer be set for?
ok can someone explain this to me, so when he was starting to say turn off computer he selected CPU, but when it was about turning computer on he selected android device? and do I need a chromcast to plug in to my computer?
Wonder if I can use this tutorial to open and close my curtains, I can't link my curtain app into Google home
Great video. Was able to get most everything to work, except the WOL app your using is no longer in the app store. And I could not find one that tasker would see as a plugin
You can also use the AutoTools plug-in. There is an option for WOL. When you create a task, go to Plugins, AutoTools, Connectivity and then you would see the Wake on LAN option
WOL by Mike webb is still available why can't u find it
If you turned off power button from working...lets say your googlehome went bad and you need to manually power it on....how would you do that? Just curious.
can I use this to turn on my pc when Im traveling far away frome home?
Awesome! Subscribed. Please keep up the GREAT work!!!
How to set up that "PC" version of join. I installed the desktop version but it says no devices. Please help. Not techie. Thanks
help! when I do the "send an eventghost command" on my chrome join extention I get a notification on my windows10 notification center but nothing on Eventghost.
Go to Join chrome extension settings on your Pc click options Go to advanced Scroll down to port section ie Eventghost Node red Enter 1818 in the port now send your command to eventghost
I have the same problem this fix doenst work :(
I'm running on Windows 10 and EventGhost will not display the command from Join (just says Task.Activated.ShellExperienceHost). Help!
For Join tasker command pc_off
The message "pc_off" isnt showing up in my EventGhost.... followed the site`s tutorial...
Same
@@tryhard6768 SAME, ithink this metod dont work more
My PC turns off, but i can't turn it on again. I recieve the pc_on notification. I think my Wake on Lan App does not work with my PC. Help pls.
Bro check the Bios settings of ur pc for wake on lan also the windows settings if WOL app is not waking up your pc
@@predator2392 I've already checked the Bios Settings and the Windows Settings. Could it be a problem that my PC is connected via a Bridge to my Router ?
@@all2jesus yes For wake on lan process your pc network port should be connected by ethernet cable
@@predator2392 OK thanks
Do you have an alternative for the Tasker. Something free? And how did you set it up? Please.... I saw a few tutorials how to turn on and off my PC with Google Home, but I always come across a paid app version.
does this method require pc being connected to the internet via lan cabel only? i wonder if there is method for turning on/off remotely without lan cabel and without dependency on the wi-fi network?
Sorry if I missed it in the video, but does the computer have to be connected to the network via LAN or does WIFI/WLAN also work?
I can't start the pc, google says it's turning on but nothing happens, shut down does work tho. I believe I followed all steps correctly. maybe the problem has to deal with wake on lan and Tasker to sync with join. I also got a message from join that unable to to something with clipboard and pc. If anybody knows solution please let me know. Thank you for the video!
Looks like you cannot power it on if you only have Wi-Fi. I can power it off/restart, but won't power on. I've done all the settings. Any ideas if it can work on Wi-Fi?
Thanks.
I do not have a wired connection at all.
hey sir, tried to follow your instruction, but the only thing did work out is the eventghost, i don't see the command that i sent to join extension on eventghost log to drag it. am i missing something? please advise
i figured it out to power off the pc via google assistant but i cannot turn it on, tried to enabled your suggestion on device manager. please help only the turn on pc command is not working
Shutting off works fine. Turning on only works from sleep mode, not when fully powered off. I've made sure to try the troubleshooting steps and still no go.
Is the WOL App waking up your pc when powered off check that first If it does then check your Tasker profile (Assuming you have done all the process correctly like registering your device in eventghost and others) Infact recreate it restart the pc then try waking your pc
nice tutorial. I am a begginer with all these and it took me a whole day to set up wvwrything and finally i managed to turn of my pc, but when i tell google to turn on my pc, he answers as he shoulld, tha he is turning on pc, but nothing happens. Any idea?
Will it work if my mobile phone is not in on the wifi of the network my computer is in? I mean, if I am (with my mobile phone) away from home and want to turn on the PC remotely, how the wake on LAN would be broadcasted to my network?
Will this work on an HP All in One desktop?
Hey, do you know how to remotely switch on a computer from another computer or smartphone that isn't connected to the same WiFi? Is this possible? Thanks, Adam
I Have Google Nest Mini 2nd Generation , It will works ?
It works fine with google assistant through my phone ,but when I say command to my google home speaker it responds turning your pc on and nothing happens
Same with me... But when my phone is unlock and I ask my google home mini it's working. My cellhpone need to be open and unlock for my google mini to work :( . I'm trying to find a workaround
Ohhh try this. In tasker click on the gear icon and check ''keep the display turned on''
Can I do this with iPhone? I just want to turn the PC on from my phone. I have already tried some things but everything been unsuccessful so far.
Don't think so u need three apps on your mobile Tasker AutoRemote & Join if u can install these apps then you are good to go
So you need AutoRemote first, then setting it up, finding out what's your personal ID URL (whatever that even is), then understanding why AutoRemote wants full access to your google drive.
Thank you for your time and the whole tutorial but I wasn't able to follow it through, stopped at this ID
Eventghost installed in your Pc with AutoRemote plugin setup 4 apps on your Mobile WOL app by mike webb Tasker Join and AutoRemote (This will show your device personal url which u need to register in eventghost) Also add Join chrome extension in your chrome browser
joaoapps.com/autoremote/eventghost/ Check this first for setting up AutoRemote plugin in eventghost
So i do have a question. i was able to set up most of this process. i havn't done the tasker portion yet since i wanted to make sure everything works before purchasing the app, but i am able to get my pc to shutdown fine. my question is if theres a way to get the pc to boot when using WIFI. i have gotten it to start up if i do the process for using the ethernet, but if i attempt to do it using wifi instead, i am unable to get it to work at all. i have ROG CROSSHAIR VI HERO (WI-FI AC) motherboard with the onboard wifi.
Can you make another video to go through step by step of making it on iphone? Similarly, i cannot have the send eventghost command "pc_off" being on the eventghost software :(
I'll check on how to do this type of project in a similar way using an IOS device. If it's possible and more people are interested to see this on IOS, I would work on a tutorial video for it. Right now, I'm working to release a new project, but, I would make a quick video showing how to set up Join and EventGhost. Hopefully, it helps the people that are having issues setting that part.
Liam Edward Go to join chrome extension settings on your pc click options go to Advanced under port section ie to send commands to eventghost or Node red enter 1818 in the port Now send ur pc_off command to eventghost
Bro all of ur effort would be futile as Tasker app is for android however u can download Tasker apk search for it in google and u will find it but it may or might not work
@@אופק-ב7ג Bro did u enter the port no 1818 in join chrome extension settings on ur pc (click options go to advanced scroll down to port section ) After that send join Tasker command pc_off (if for some reason does not show up in eventghost just restart ur pc and then try it ) if u have followed all the process correctly as mentioned in juan's written tutorial it should work Let me know if u managed to do it
@@אופק-ב7ג Have u managed to complete the pc_on part
how does turn off work? Does it hard shut off or like can you set it to just sleep, and what if the comp runs into a program thats still running when its shutting off?
This method wakes up the pc from sleeping/hibernate mode or does it actually power it on while it was COMPLITELY off?
nice.. but i am looking for some "remote" solution.. for WOL i must have phone in the same network.. so i need some gateway or hub connected to cloud and that hub must know how to send WOL ?
Port forwarding would suffice your solution for wake on wan
okay but you didn't show how you added the pc and phone to the join site and extension
I think there is another way by using autoremote i think it will be more usefull controling other devices by many way
It would be helpfull If u can explain it.. Would u?
When I am in the EventGhost, after I type the pc_off in the join chrome extension, I can´t find the message :(
Either I could, but I used the last log after that, and it worked.
Same problem
Hi, Juan. I am trying to do the 2nd step on the EventGhost when it should show the Message (AutoRemote.Message) created by Join and it does NOT show it anywhere! I need help!
DM
What do I do if I get Google Assistant v2
Would there be a way to use automate instead of tasker for this?
Hi Juan, will this work for a laptop using only wireless connection ? I don't have a network cable. Will this work if the laptop is suspended or only when it is powered down? Thanks!
I got the turn pc off command to work through google home using this but for whatever reason I can't get tasker to talk with join on the cell phone my motherboard is configured correctly join on the web and used my cell phones api link that gets populated after in the tasker text typing pc_on for the ifttt webhook I have the full version of Taksker on my cell phone also have auto remote on my cell to maybe that is configured wrong in which case how should it be?
Can I do that Using my Google Pixel 4 while I am oustside of the house?
I cant find the autoremote.message in eventghost after i try to join it?
Go to join chrome extension settings on your chrome browser click options go to advanced Scroll down to port section ie redirect command to eventghost Enter 1818 in the port now send join tasker command pc_off it will show
or buy google assistant controlled switch and hook it to your pc turn on button. Done.
Also something you forgot to mention, some motherboards you have to enable WoL in bios and its different for every manufacturer, but if anyone has to do that, and you don't know what you are doing in bios, ONLY change values you are 100% certain on what does so you don't brick your device, some motherboard do have reset switches, or you could remove the CMOS battery for a bit, to reset if it goes wrong
could you do an updated tutorial for the new google assistant v2? its actually so dumb why they had to change it, and now this tutorial does not work
Yes, IFTTT reworked the trigger, now they work with scenes instead of simple phrases.
Now if you want this tutorial to work you have the create two new applets using assistant v2 and activate IFTTT in the Google Home App. Then the triggers of the 2 new applets should be "computer" and "shutdown". So it will listen for "Hey Google, activate computer" or "Hey Google, activate shutdown". You can still change the phrases using custom routines in the Google Home app but not in IFTTT.
@@Jento. i am honestly still stuck I don't know what to put in the "message" part, it says activatedat activated at scenename and unless I put the right stuff it won't let me through, also have no idea how to integrate it with Google routines, i can't find any information out there unfortunately, so you seem to be my only hope if I want it to work again
@@Cinnamon_Shaey The only difference when creating the IFTTT applets is when you choose assistant just enter "computer". And for the other applet, enter "Shutdown". The rest of the tutorial stays the same. So basically you say to your Google "activate computer" or "activate shutdown".
But for more advanced users, they can customize their phrases in a google home routine.
@@Jento. I got the computer to wake up, but can't get it to shut down, when I say activate shutdown it just starts "if you wanna deactivate the mic press the button on the back of the device"
@@Jento. oh heck yeah for some reason I did have to use routines, cause otherwise it would not let me, I just had to relink IFTTT to Google AFTER making the applets so I could choose them in the adjust scenes option, and then I could do activate pc and activate shutdown and have even changed them with the routine so I don't need to say activate, can just say hey Google start pc and hey Google shutdown pc
Do i need EvenGhost if i want GAssistant only for turn on computer ??
Hi, do I have to be in the same network(local)? Can I use the same method to power it on remotely with a different segment of network?
Powering on Remotely Not possible through this process but Powering off Can be done
