How to Turn On Your PC with Amazon Alexa (Tutorial) 

Oscar Penelo is haunting me in my dreams

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Its a award 🥇

U

Your dad

Did you ever figure out a way that works

Did you ever work it out?

x2

Did u figure it out?

Same problem

Update the Realtek driver to the latest then search the power option again

Thank you!!

i think it works only to start the pc for free ... to do a shutdown u have to pay extra

Yes you can only start it for free, unfortunately you have to pay to shut it down. Hopefully in the future they change that

Turning on the computer in this case is when you boot it up after shutting it down. Waking up the computer is when you boot it up after sleeping it. The cool thing about this program is that it does both of those things and I tested them in the video. If you’re looking for something that turns on power to your computer so you can boot it up after (which I’m guessing is what you mean when you say “turn on”), then unfortunately this won’t work for you. Thank you for watching though I appreciate it!

​@qvrsl does this require ethernet?

It shouldn’t require it, but it may help if you’re having issues with the process

Did you ever work out which one works?

@@Frnsthoughts yes. If you can't find the 'Realtek PCIe Gbe Family Controller' it's because your LAN hardware is called something else. Just find the one with the word Controller in it. Mine is called the 'Intel(R) Ethernet Controller.

Thank you!

Yeah I’ve had a couple people tell me that it wouldn’t work with their internet connection which I’m not sure why that’s happening. However if you haven’t already, try doing the whole tutorial over again because the process I showed in the video I had to do twice because it didn’t work for me either the first time

It’s all wifi, shouldn’t need Bluetooth at all

just need to buy the license as mentioned in the disclaimer last word

Yes I believe that should work

Plug them into the wall the computer should turn them on automatically. What monitors do you have?

Thanks. That's what I did. We ll... technically just on thier own power strip. Now everything is fully operational. 😊

Yeah that could be it I didn’t think about that. That would definitely mess with some of the menus

Yeah sometimes it’s really fidgety, mine didn’t work the first time, so I recommend redoing the whole process again because I restarted it for mine and it ended up working for some reason

same problem

Ty man I couldn’t find the option in my pios but you helped me

im in the same situation

Make sure you added top mac adres it worked for me

Yes I believe it should work

I thought they were a little loud in this video too but I’ve also had people in the past tell me my mic is too quiet. I think in my newer videos I finally found that happy medium lol. Thanks a lot!

⁠@@qvrslhey, I don't see the PCIe the family controller I. Network adapters and it also won't turn on my computer, if you could guide be k. How to fix this that would be awesome thank you!

Of course anytime :)

Yes you can choose any other phrase

Mine to has no power management, and it's still worked

Bios settings can be scary, honestly I'm not even sure what half of the stuff does

True kinda risky

i feel stupid asking this but how do i turn off the pc, can i just say it to alexa?

@@lordkarlchen3777 unfortunately you have to pay for that functionality, it really sucks. You can only turn on the pc using this program for free

What is a "Lan Device"

It is just a one time payment I’m pretty sure but don’t quote me on it

Yes I agree it is kinda complex, it’s hard to know what you’re doing if you aren’t following a good step-by-step tutorial. This is definitely not risky though, all your personal data is secure and there are no chances of viruses or any bad things getting through during this process

It’s only if you want to turn off your computer with Alexa as well. Hopefully in the future they will update it so you won’t need the license

I’m not sure what you mean yet, are you referring to the windows settings, the Alexa app settings, or the bios settings? I would recommend trying the whole process again because sometimes things show up and work the second time around

Bro are you slow?

@@dripdemon9449 give him a break, english prolly aint his first lang😂😂

Play at half speed then 🫣😂😂😜🤪

Is your computer and your Alexa both connected to the same internet?

@@qvrsl yes sir

I kinda had a similar problem where once I connected the computer and tried to tell Alexa to turn it on, it wouldn’t find my computer. I ended up just deleting everything I did and I redid the whole process and it worked, so maybe give that a shot since that’s what worked for me. If it doesn’t let me know and I might have a couple more fixes

@@qvrsl yep it worked thanks bro .. however i did a stupid thing my pc name was my name and now i changed pc name but my echo dot still turns on computer when i say old name. Now i will reconnect it and hope it starts with new name.

I’m glad to hear!

Thank you :) Yeah unfortunately this isn’t my program, when I found out it costs money to turn off I was super annoyed because that’s what I needed as well

@@qvrsl no problem that’s unfortunate hopefully some1 will berate a free program soon

​@egg_rl7118 idk if this will help that much but I have something called rain meter and then get an app called mii power which adds some buttons to the home screen where I can click them and turn it off there

@@gavinskaria9643 yes but I want to turn it off from like my bed

​@@egg_rl7118use a Raspberry pi

Same i dont have that under my options

I’m a little confused, can you explain further?

@@qvrsl the io settings how can i do it on gigabyte mother board

I don’t have one so I’m not entirely sure, but I think this should help: linustechtips.com/topic/1165873-how-to-enable-power-up-by-pci-on-motherboard/

Thank you!!

I believe it should be the same process is what I've heard? Is the process not working for you? I'm sorry about my late response I haven't seen your comment until now

I’m assuming there’s probably a way, I can try and figure it out but it might be a little above what I’m able to code lol

​@@qvrsl would be realllyyyy helpfull
