How this automation works

Turn on a local network device automatically when you receive a matching SMS message. This Applet runs whenever an SMS containing your chosen keyword arrives on your Android phone, sending a signal to wake a LAN-connected device. It's perfect for remotely powering up servers or PCs through your ASUS Router without being physically present.
