Remote re-start
Am I right in thinking I can start/restart my Mac remotely from iOS.
I read something about this on a Mac site, but could find no further info. I'd love to be able to access my Mac if away on holiday, but don't want to leave it powered up for a long period and unattended.
Thanks, Colin

What you are trying to do is called Wake On Lan (WOL) TeamViewer does support it. To set it up please review this KB https://community.teamviewer.com/t5/Knowledge-Base/How-does-Wake-on-LAN-with-TeamViewer-work/ta-p/33
Feel free to ask quiestions if you have any. I am not super familiar with Mac but others may be able to help.

Thanks for that Bart [delay as Gmail treated the notification as spam].
Sadly it seems that with a Mac it only works to wake from sleep rather than from powered down, but as sleep only consumes 1.16W looks as if it would take over a month to use a KwH! I just have to decide if I am happy to leave it plugged in and on over a long holiday …
Cheers, Colin
