Hey there,
I want to be able to wake my Windows PC and sign in to my account from wherever I am. I have a remote desktop set-up so I want to be able to turn my computer on whenever/wherever to be able to use it remotely.
From what I've seen, WOL won't work for me since I can't run an ethernet cord to my desktop. I don't shutdown but rather sleep my desktop, and when it is sleeping any HID input wakes it. So I'm thinking that I could set up an arduino that when it receives a command through the internet first emulates a keystroke to wake the PC, and then emulates the keystrokes for my password and enter to actually sign in to my user.
Therefore, what board would be best for this application? I was looking at the UNO R4 Wifi most notably, but I am completely new to arduino so I am not sure. I'm thinking that it would need to have HID emulation and wifi capabilites, but maybe it needs to have something else? For sending commands over the internet I was thinking of implementing an Arduino dashboard. Please let me know what board(s) would be best for this type of project and any general advice/guidance you may have too, thanks!
