Now I can turn on/off my PC over the Internet. A little hacky but it works like a charm.

I'm using an Arduino IDE compatible ESP-12E with on board WiFi and a homemade optocoupler (LED + photoresistor).

Hopefully more projects like these are coming 🤗

@teganburns because they aren't the same. Think about this as a complement instead of a replacement.
In my experience WoL doesn't work when the PC is not on sleep mode; although I've read it could be accomplished, I don't know how true/hardware dependant that is.

I also got some entertainment and knowledge in the process.

@teganburns yes, it acts as an alternative button to the one on the front of the case just that I can activate it remotely.

I usually just use WoL because my PC supports that as soon as electricity is there but cool nonetheless.

@teganburns you can turn it off with this : )
