There does not seem to exist like a single, complete solution for this that everyone agrees is the way to go… or maybe I did not look hard enough.

How do you do it?

My priorities are:

Top priority

  • Turn off

Amazing to have

  • Volume controls
  • Pause/play

Nice to have

  • monitoring state (on/off)

I saw that System Bridge exists, and looks almost perfect aside from the fact that is not even in the AUR (outdated) and is not distributed under Chocolatey in Windows… this makes me think that the project is very much not widely used at all.

So, how do you deal with these things?

    KDE Connect, not for home assistant, but still an awesome tool

        You can run commands, so systemctl poweroff should work to turn off your computer (on Linux, not sure how KDE Connect works on Windows, but I’d assume there’s an equivalent)
