First, try pressing the WAKE button on the application to see if the PC starts.
If it does not work, delete the PC registration and re-register it.

Try using this macro based on the application settings.
Enter the local variable mac_address without delimiters.

Yes, Wake on Lan is possible without a plug-in, so please try it.
When you select a device in the app and edit it, you will see Mac adress in the settings details.
Set this as a local variable.

Hello. Thanks for the script but I tried everything but failed. I must be doing something wrong. I am sharing screenshots. I will be grateful if you can help.

mac_address is hyphenated. Try removing the hyphen.
Also, the broadcast address varies depending on the network environment, so that may be the cause.

It is better to delete the screenshot or modify the image as mac address should not be made available to the public.

Worked! I deleted the hyphens and fixed my ip address.

Thanks for the warning about the privacy of my mac address, but I had changed my mac address before I took the screenshot. I'll edit it anyway.

Thank you very much for your help and contribution to the application...
