New Feature: Wake a PC from hibernation/sleep (WOL)

Thank you for a wonderful application.

New Feature: since all the necessary information is collected. It would be nice to have a function to Wake a Network device from sleep using any of the WOL techniques.

Thank you, Joel

Sounds interesting. I will definitely think about it for my fork.

I have integrated WoL into my fork. However, what doesn't work is waking up devices in other vlans or subnets. On the one hand, the vlan/subnet for each device would have to be stored in Pi.Alert, or at least an assignment would have to take place, which is currently not the case with my fork. On the other hand, a separate configuration of firewall or router is necessary, for which I cannot give any support.

look at https://github.com/leiweibau/Pi.Alert/commit/30427c7fea180670c71a2b790699e5d9e9e88ffd
