Help: Creating a Button to send Wake on Lan from OctoPi to Home PC?

well, that wakeonlan module seems the way to go if you do make a plugin, just make that a dependency in plugin_requires of setup.py of your plugin and add a SimpleApiPlugin mixin to receive the button press from the UI side. Happy to help with any troubleshooting once you start making the plugin.

I made this plugin with the help of chat-gpt, it downloads fine but doesn't take effect. in the logs it says "site-packages/octoprint_wake_on_lan/init.py", line 58
from future import absolute_import
SyntaxError: from future imports must occur at the beginning of the file"
any ideas?

try adding # coding=utf-8 on the first line of your init.py file.

try this one...not really sure if it will load or work, but should have all the pieces...

You don't need these futures imports if you're only working with Python 3. They are a legacy from Python 2 & 3 compatibility days where importing this on Python 2 would activate the Python 3 style imports. I'd recommend removing them.

after 2 years 6 months and 13 days I think we can finally put this thread to rest.
This was a huge learning opportunity, thank you all! OctoPrint-Wakeonlan PlugIn

You're welcome. Looks like your plugin is exactly what I provided, based on yours and tweaked to load properly.
