Turn on your PC with [Wake-On-LAN](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wake-on-LAN) (WOL) requests

> Note: This project is in beta stage! Feel free to report any issues you encounter.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Once [installed](#install), using this library is as simple as running:

```
$loop = React\EventLoop\Factory::create();
$wolFactory = new Clue\React\Wol\Factory($loop);

$wolFactory->createSender()->then(function(Clue\React\Wol\Sender $wol) {
    $wol->send('11:22:33:44:55:66');
});

$loop->run();
```

If your environment requires a non-default broadcast address (the default is: `255.255.255.255:7`), for example `1.2.3.4:9`. You can pass that to the `createSender` method on the `Factory`. For example:

```
$loop = React\EventLoop\Factory::create();
$wolFactory = new Clue\React\Wol\Factory($loop);

$wolFactory->createSender('1.2.3.4:9')->then(function(Clue\React\Wol\Sender $wol) {
    $wol->send('11:22:33:44:55:66');
});

$loop->run();
```

There's also a CLI script in `bin/wol.php` to send a WOL request from the command line simply by running:

```
$ php bin/wol.php 11:22:33:44:55:66
```

Introduction
------------

[](#introduction)

The following short introduction is mostly taken from wikipedia's [article about WOL](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wake-on-LAN):

Wake-on-LAN ("WOL") is implemented using a specially designed packet called a magic packet, which is sent to the computer to be woken up. The magic packet contains the MAC address of the destination computer. Powered-down computers capable of Wake-on-LAN will contain network devices able to "listen" to incoming packets in low-power mode while the system is powered down. If a magic packet is received that is directed to the device's MAC address, the NIC signals the computer's power supply to initiate system wake-up, much in the same way as pressing the power button would do.

The magic packet is a broadcast frame containing anywhere within its payload 6 bytes of all 255 (FF FF FF FF FF FF in hexadecimal), followed by sixteen repetitions of the target computer's 48-bit MAC address, for a total of 102 bytes.

Since the magic packet is only scanned for the string above, and not actually parsed by a full protocol stack, it may be sent as any network- and transport-layer protocol, although this library uses a typical UDP datagram. The magic packet is usually sent on the data link layer (layer 2 in the OSI model) and when sent, is broadcast to all attached devices on a given network, using the network broadcast address; the IP-address (layer 3 in the OSI model) is not used.

Install
-------

[](#install)

The recommended way to install this library is [through composer](http://getcomposer.org). [New to composer?](http://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md)

```
{
    "require": {
        "clue/wol-react": "0.1.*"
    }
}
```
