FEATURES

- Notify (if enabled) when an automation is triggered

PERMISSIONS
Location permissions (ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION, ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION, ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION) are used exclusively to read the Wi-Fi network name (SSID) in order to trigger automations. Android requires these permissions to access the SSID. No location data is ever collected, stored, or shared. These permissions are only requested when the user enables the optional Automations feature.
SETUP
- Enable Wake-on-LAN in your devices BIOS (look for Wake on Magic Packet or Power On By PCI-E).
- On Windows, enable Wake on Magic Packet in Device Manager under your network adapters Advanced properties.
- Add your device in OpenWOL and tap its card to send a Magic Packet.
- Optionally, create an Automation to wake your device automatically when connecting to your home Wi-Fi.
PRIVACY
OpenWOL collects no data. There are no analytics, no ads, no trackers. Location permissions are used only to read the Wi-Fi SSID for automations, no location data is ever stored or shared. Automations are optional and the app works fully without them.
