My second question is the most important one (for me): does this driver have the capability to send a WOL command across the LAN in response to a switch or trigger from Harmony? I had functionality like this with a virtual dual switch/sensor written in the Groovy IDE that, when Harmony turned on the virtual switch in SmartThings, my Alexa device picked up on that switch’s change of state and sent a WOL command to my HTPC. Thus I could power on the HTPC as part of my ‘Start Kodi’ activity, which was ace. However, the functionality of this dual switch has now been lost as part of the move away from Groovy. It would seem to me - not a coder, so don’t shoot me down! - that something that runs entirely on the LAN could be able to send the WOL command itself, removing the need for a SmartThings → Alexa trigger…
Again, this is a question about controlling ST from harmony, so off topic for this thread but…
You need a WOL virtual switch to do this, @TAustin has one here [Edge] Wake-on-LAN via Alexa command - Devices & Integrations / Community Created Device Types - SmartThings Community
As it’s a switch, you should be able to control directly from Harmony with the official integration, or you can attach with a routine to an activity in ST using the driver in this thread.
