Is it correct that I cannot specify a subnet when sending a WOL packet with the network binding or am I missing something here?
I want to wake my LG TV which resides in a different subnet but both the webOS and the network binding don’t allow me to specify a subnet. I use the exec binding now to perform this operation which works great, but I was wondering if this really cannot be done with the network binding since the v1 WOL binding seemed to have this feature built-in.
I have a comparable issue. Just that my second subnet is connected via Lan-Lan VPN connection via the internet (AVM fritz-box). Did you ever found a solution?
I found this but I am hesitating to apply, I would prefer a solution within network binding.
Yes since I don’t know which version there has been an update to the network binding which allows you to use an IP address for sending the magic packet. I route this packet in the target subnet via ARP table to the dedicated device. Please see the updated documentation:
Ok honestly, I have overseen this in the code example.
Nevertheless it does not work for me.
For my local NAS I have:
val actions = getActions("network", "network:pingdevice:localNAS")
actions.sendWakeOnLanPacket()
localNAS_Online.postUpdate(OFF)
Which perfectly works as intended.
I had the same for the remote NAS which is connected via LAN-LAN VPN of AVM fritzbox. It is just in another subnet. If online I can easily contact it via the IP.
Now I changed for the remote NAS to:
val actions = getActions("network", "network:pingdevice:remoteNAS")
actions.sendWakeOnLanPacketViaIp()
remoteNAS_Online.postUpdate(OFF)
And get following log:
[ERROR] [internal.handler.ScriptActionHandler] - Script execution of rule with UID 'WOL_NAS_remote' failed: val actions = getActions("network", "network:pingdevice:remoteNAS")
actions.sendWakeOnLanPacketViaIp()
remoteNAS.postUpdate(OFF)
The method sendWakeOnLanPacketViaIp() is undefined for the type ThingActions; line 2, column 91, length 24
The IP is correctly configured in the thing and I am running the latest version of the binding and openhab.
