Hi all not sure if this has been covered already but I just had a thought through my mind last night. What would be the easiest\best way to go about controlling other computers on your network but still using it from the main VC unit. Not sure how basic or advanced I would like to take it but just thought like silly things maybe as eg... COMPUTER..... TURN COMPUTER 2nd ROOM ON..... LAUNCH XBMC.... and maybe much much more.

Not sure if anyone has attempted this before or sees a need to do this but if you have I would like to know what software you used perhaps and what you used it for.

Thanks

It has been discussed to some extent on this forum already.  You should do a search.

There is an action for WOL too.  It takes one parameter which is the mac address.
