Wake on lan Mac when shut down

[jeremiasm]

I have tried to set up TeamViewer for my mac pro and mac book pro to wake them on lan.

I wonder does mac os support WOL when the computer is shut down? Someone said here https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/1990806-wake-on-lan-wol-on-a-mac that it would be possible. I have configured the settings "wake on internet access" and set up TeamViewer the same way as a PC that works on the same network.


I also tried to run a command I got from here https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/656687 but don't understand would it help.

Here is the results:

Thank you for your help!

This would be "Lights out management" rather than wake on LAN. Only the long discontinued Xserve and the 2019 Mac Pro support that, and the 2019 Mac Pro setup is quite complex, requiring a management system and a second Mac that's on the same network to already be on. https://support.apple.com/guide/mdm/lights-out-management-payload-settings-mdm580cf25bc/web
Wake on LAN is specifically that– to wake a sleeping computer, not turn it on, at least as far as Apple is concerned.

Would there be ant third party solution or PC-kind turn on solution?

Yes, you need to make the machine start when power comes back and use something like homeassistent to control the power plug. As soon as power comes back to the Mac you can make it turn on. Before you experiment with this, just try this manually by inserting and removing the power cable to your Mac and the setting to turn it on when power returns. Surely not all machines support this. This would be a third party solution with a raspberry pi for instance controlling when your machine is on and off. If you use a raspberry pi for this you might as well look at a solution to use this for Remote Desktop as well, as you can connect your pc-screen to the raspberry pi and see whether it is working or not, or create a video stream of the output of your pc. It's your imagination that need to set the limit what you can achieve here.
