Switch Wake on Lan Not Working (Docker)

[louisefindlay23]

Home Assistant release with the issue:

0.76.2

Last working Home Assistant release (if known):
Unknown

Operating environment (Hass.io/Docker/Windows/etc.):

Docker
Component/platform:

switch.wake_on_lan
https://www.home-assistant.io/components/switch.wake_on_lan/

Description of problem:

I added the switch.wake_on_lan with my ip address and mac address but it doesn't turn the relevant computer (Windows 10.)

Problem-relevant configuration.yaml entries and (fill out even if it seems unimportant):

switch:
  - platform: tplink
    host: 192.168.1.18
  - platform: wake_on_lan
    mac_address: "10-7B-44-A1-A4-A1"
    name: Desktop
    host: 192.168.1.24

Traceback (if applicable):

Additional information:
I've used a third-party wake on lan app which works with it before. I've turned off fast startup, it's enabled in bios and network adapter. Home Assistant turns on my LG WebOS tv via wake on lan perfectly. I have --net=host on my container and here's my docker run script

docker run -d --name="homeassistant" --net=host --restart="unless-stopped" -v /opt/docker/config/homeassistant:/config -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro homeassistant/home-assistant

Is your Windows machine configured to work with WOL? For example, has it been switched on in the BIOS and network settings? Have you tested this with your PC in sleep mode?

Is this still an issue you are experiencing? Can you please try upgrading to the latest version of Home Assistant (0.90) and report back if this is still a problem? Thanks!

I have basically this exact same set-up and it works for me. Close?

I have same issue and it isn't working. Not getting correct status, third party apps do report correct status.

Version : 93.2

Using Hassio

I'm experiencing this issue as well. It has been working before and via different methods the target PC is able to boot upon receiving the magic packet. The status is reported correctly though within HA

[Jelmerrevers]

I am having the same issue, WOL is not working through Hassio (Running in docker). Works well with other downloadable applications.

[Swamp-Ig]

I don't use hassio, but I suspect this might be because the networking setup for the docker container prevents the magic packet from getting to the target network. I've got my networking setup to use host networking.

I'm using Hassio 0.98 in Docker with NGINX Proxy Manager and it's not working.
I tried switch / script solutions with no success, it's quite frustrating... Everything worked well when my HA was running under venv, then I moved to Docker and it stopped working. HA is in host network, NGINX in hassio one, no way to make it work... It would be really helpful if someone could suggest some tip :_(

Same here. 0.101.3, unRAID, Docker. No platform: wake_on_lan functionality.
Please ... anyone.
