I just published an updated version of the Wake on LAN (WoL) client for webOS (Palm Pre and Pixi). The latest version supports specifying a custom hostname and port, which means that now you can send WoL packages from to a remote network.

James Knowles (please see the about screen for contact info) contributed the initial UI changes for specifying a hostname. I added some more information and added the ability to specify a custom port (which required a service update).

To get these changes please update to/install the latest version of the service and UI using Preware.

I just got a confirmation that Wake-on-LAN for WebOS has been accepted in the official app catalog. You should be able to install it from there now.

Personally I have moved on to Android based cell phone from WebOS/Palm Pre, but I am still trying to keep my Wake-on-LAN (WOL) for WebOS application up to date. Previously it was based on a Java service, which isn’t compatible with WebOS 2.0. So, I have recently rewritten the backend WOL service be a node.js based service that is compatible with WebOS 2.0. Unfortunately, I am facing a few issues with the new model that I have started working through on the Palm Developer forums. Chime in if you can! 🙂

I am hoping to publish this as a free app on the market once I get some of these kinks worked out. Also, source code for this app is now available on google code.

I recently published the Wake-on-LAN client for webOS (used by Palm Pre and Pixi) and finally got a chance to create a video showing how it works. You can see it below. I had to write a Java dbus service to accomplish this functionality so, unfortunately, this won’t be showing up in the Palm app catalog, but you can install it using Preware.
