This is an intermediate device to achieve Wake-On-WAN without port forwarding, this is a solution for devices in networks behind a firewall, NAT and/or carrier-grade NAT. In most cases, ISPs does not provide public IP for home users.

Wake-On-LAN (WOL) packet forwarder, receive messages encoded in JSON via MQTT, and generate WakeOnLAN packets based on the received MAC Address and send the WOL packet to the Local-Area-Network. The second approach is to check device status which runs ICMP ping to device static IP and send-back message with the ping status.

• ESP32 module
  • Visual Studio Code (For programming the chip)
    • PlatformIO IDE extension
• Account from Amazon Web Services (AWS)
  • MQTT Provider: Amazon IoT [Free Tier - 12 MONTHS FREE]
  • Authentication: Amazon Cognito [Free Tier - ALWAYS FREE]
• Wake App

• MAC Address (required)
• Wake-On-LAN enabled (required)
• Deafult to port 9 (port 7 supported)
• Static IP to retrieve device status via ICMP ping (optional, supported)
• SecureOn password (optional, supported)

Application to add devices list and send message to wake/retrieve status. Built with Ionic 4 & Angular 8. Utilizing AWS Amplify for MQTT messaging.
