Sending Wake on LAN from Wifi Pineapple

[cybergeegee]

Hello,

I'm trying to experiment sending Wake on LAN (WOL) signals to my both my Windows computer to wake them up from my IOS phone.

The procedure goes like this:

1) Using the IOS app Workflow, I trigger a script over SSH connection to my WiFi Pineapple TETRA.

2) The script should send a WOL signal to my designated Windows machine.

The problem is I don't know how to send WOL with the Pineapple. I know you can install etherwake on a Native Linux, but there is no apt-get in the Pineapple.

Eventually I'll combine the automation procedure with IFTTT and Alexa once I get my hands on it.

 

Yes, I know this can be done with an Android or Raspberry Pi, but I don't have them and I don't plan on getting them. I just want to experiment with what I have as of now.

Please let me know if you would like me to explain further. I greatly appreciate any thoughts and help from the community.

The Pineapple uses opkg, so you would use these commands:

1. opkg update
2. opkg install etherwake

Etherwake's usage should be: etherwake [mac-address]
