Yeah that was my assumption. But I hadn’t considered WOL being broadcast, so now I’m not so sure. I would assume it’s broadcast on both IP and Ethernet layer. It’s time to do some wiresharking :)

Maybe something else going on then, but ive never gotten WOL to work after a blackout when there’s two switches between sender and receiver. After powering up the receiver once, WOL works again

If you’re already using node-red, the Wake On Lan node works well, and with node-red it’s easy to trigger the magic packet based on whatever trigger condition you want.

The only limitation I know is WOL doesn’t work after a power outage, because the switch and RPI doesn’t know where to find the target machine

Thanks for the tips on reusable enterprise cards btw

My gut reaction too. But their readme/faq makes a lot of sound points. Also Nextcloud is one of the main contributors, so you know it’s serious. Also Proton and Ionos (which I admit I’d never heard of, but they seem big)
